Junior Katie Slay
Quoting Coach Rose “Katie has really improved since last sseson. I know she’s stronger physically, she’s hitting the ball higher and with more velocity. Katie has also really taken a strong leadership role to heart and I’m really proud of her efforts.” Slay’s Expectations “We’ve worked really hard this off-season to come back stronger for the 2012 year. I’m very excited for what we can accomplish this year. We learned a lot from last season, and we are now a more experienced team. I know we will uphold Penn State’s tradition of Success With Honor and make the university proud. We Are!”
