The Golden Eagles senior is one of the tallest players in the league at 6-foot-2 and has established herself as one of the top middle blockers in the league, forcing opposing hitters to find other ways around the hit-stuffer.
In her time with Ferndale, the Golden Eagles have gone to two Class 3A state tournaments and appear on their way for a third straight.
Columbia University is a part of NCAA’s Ivy League, playing against the likes of Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
