COACH GRAYSTONE SAYS
"Libby followed up a strong finish to the 2005 season by winning the setting position outright. As a 5th year senior, we will be looking for stability and leadership from Libby, as well as the confidence to make decisions and run a good offense. Libby has been working for a long time to get herself to this point, and I know she will do a great job as our setter in 2006."
