    Favorite Volleyball Moment:
     My favorite moment was at the 2004 Nationals in Houston. We were about to play Triangle 18's, whose star was Megan Hodge (Penn State/USA National Team), and I found out their coach said they would walk all over us. We designed our defense around Hodge and won in two rather convincing games. After the match Kelly Peniata dumped a bottle of water on my head.
