2021 SPRING SEASON VARSITY ROSTER

With a few late additions, the 2021 VARSITY Squad has been selected.

The Lady Hilltoppers return 8 players from the 2019 season and added 4 Junior Varsity players to the squad before the 2020 season was postponed to set their 12 -woman roster. After tryouts began across all levels this week, the team promoted to the Varsity level individuals whom the coaching staff felt would add depth to the squad and might see significant time based on performance metrics in practice and in matches. Looking forward to the 2021 Spring Season!!!

Varsity Squad

Captain - Sarah Maldonado, Sr. Outside Hitter

Captain - Kiera Stocks, Sr. Libero (4 year Varsity Volleyball Member, 2 Year Captain)

Captain - Kasey Walsh, Sr. Setter

Alexis Barnes, Sr. Defensive Specialist

Rebecca Thompson, Jr. Outside Hitter / Opposite
Erin Vostal, Sr. Outside Hitter / Middle Blocker
Annabella Yorio, Sr. Opposite / Outside Hitter

Zoe Zacharias, 9th Setter

This is by far the tallest and most athletic team that Summit Volleyball has fielded. It contains a blend of some of the best multi-sport athletes in the school and experience from both an attacking and defensive perspective.

The front row of the Hilltoppers could feature a combination of 5'6", 5'7", 3 players at 5'11", 3 players at 6', and 1 player at 6'2". The defensive side of the ball will feature a combination of 2 players at 5'3", 1 player at 5'5", 3 players at 5'6" and 1 player at 5'7".

The combination of returners and full year volleyball players should produce some amazing results this year.

COLLEGE OF SAINT ELIZABETH - COACHING RECORD

SAINT ELIZABETH UNIVERSITY (4 SEASONS) I led the CSE Women’s Volleyball program for 4 seasons and guided the Screaming Eagles to its most successful campaign in program history in 2012. The team posted the most wins ever in the history of the program (22W), the best overall record (22W-7L), the most wins in the NEAC since CSE joined the conference (6W), the best team record in the NEAC since CSE joined the conference (6W-6L) and tied the highest finish ever in the NEAC. In 2013, despite losing 4 starters and the starting setter for most of the season, the Eagles finished over .500 at the end of the season for the 3rd consecutive year. Of note, those were the only 3 seasons (2011-12-13) that the program had ever been over .500. The Eagles had 5 players ranked in the top 50 nationally for Aces per Set in the past 3 seasons, including a 14th best national ranking in 2012 and a 17th best in 2013. The team was also ranked 11th nationally in the same category in 2011, 12th in 2012 and 21st in 2013. CSE was the highest ranked DIII team in NJ in that category as well for the first time (2nd highest in 2011-12). The Eagles were also the only NJ DIII team to earn the coveted American Volleyball Coaches Association Team All-Academic Award for 2012-13 AND 2013-14.
