Last year, she worked as a setter, right-side hitter and outside hitter. She is a well rounded player. This year, she is our starting outside hitter and a primary passer on serve receive.

Quotes from Thomas Jefferson coach Ron Kelly: "Julia is an outstanding athlete that competes everyday at practice. She stepped into a starting role as outside hitter and primary passer and has excelled. She has worked hard on her serve and back row attack which makes her even more valuable. I sometimes forget she is only a sophomore because of her instinct on the court. Julia has such a good rapport with her teammates and am very happy she will be around another two years in a Jaguar jersey." |
