Quotes from Seneca Valley coach Brett Poirier: "I have had the privilege of coaching Sarah for six years at Seneca Valley. She has met every expectation and delivered in multiple facets. She is a six-rotation player who can do everything: block a big hitter, dig with the best of them, score points with her serve, deliver the ball on offense wherever you need it, and she is one of the top hitters in the WPIAL. She is the complete package. She brings her full intensity to both matches and practice where she plays full speed, all out, all the time. She leads by example by encouraging her teammates, treating her teammates with respect and bringing the girls together to achieve results. Ohio State hit the lottery when Sarah committed to play for them. She is a great person a great teammate and a great player. She will be greatly missed."
