Favorite Volleyball Moment: |
| An individual favorite moment was probably when I played at US Nationals when I was 8 months pregnant with Sophie and I had a 1-handed quick jump set to the middle which she pounded. It was pretty amazing that I could even jump! Volleyball Magazine published a picture of me holding a volleyball next to my very large pregnant stomach. |
