Ginipro's Comments:Â "Adding Becky to the roster this spring is huge for App State Volleyball. Â She is a big, physical setter who will allow us to be more offensive in that position than we have been and was on a team that made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament this season. I know she's excited to jump right into our team culture in January and get going on the 2018 season."
