HEAD COACH BRENDA GRAY

"We are extremely excited to have Amber join our Bearkat Volleyball program.  She epitomizes what we are looking for in a student athlete - hard working and dedicated in the classroom and on the court.  A left-hander, she is extremely athletic. As she adjusts to the speed of the college game, she will be an asset for us."
