Quotes from Beaver coach Charlene Horwatt: "Mia has been a solid all around volleyball player for her team throughout her career. She takes big swings and has excellent ball control skills. Her game is physically strong and quick and also mentally tough and steady. Our team has been blessed with a lot of talent and as anyone in volleyball knows the attention goes to the big girls who take big swings and they deserve it but so often the player making the passes is forgotten for being the first touch that creates the opportunity for the attack. Mia’s passing in serve receive and in defense have given Beaver the opportunity to compete at a high level and be as successful as we are.
