Name: Sydney Angel High School: Upper St. Clair Grade: 12 Position: Setter Background Info: Sydney is a four-year starter and letter-winner for the USC Panthers Girls' Volleyball program. She has excelled in athletics as she also has played softball for 11 years as a center fielder. Sydney started with the Upper St Clair rec softball team and transitioned to travel softball, playing for the Pittsburgh Riot for a year, then Pittsburgh Spirit for five years. Sydney has played club volleyball with Pittsburgh Elite Volleyball for five years as well. This season she has been the AAAA player of the week and is leading her team into the WPIAL playoffs. Sydney would like to study business or journalism in college, and she is undecided on a school at this time. Quotes from Upper St. Clair coach Kim Manning: "Sydney has truly been a fantastic leader and athlete for the USC Volleyball program. She has become the quarterback of her team this year and runs her offense effectively setting a 5-1. Sydney always wants to see her teammates excel as well and will be the first to congratulate them or jump out of the gym cheering for them. I love having a setter focused on game planning and running an offense that considers not only our team’s strengths, but the weaknesses she sees on the other side of the net that she learns in film. Her 24 kills this season as a setter goes to show that she is an aggressive player and I can’t wait to see how she pushes her teammates the rest of her senior season." |
