Quotes from Eden Christian head coach Jillian Zentko: "Alexis is the definition of a coaches player on and off the court. Her commitment, technical skills, constant hustle, love for the game, her teammates and Jesus, volleyball IQ, reliability, levelheadedness, and leadership skills shine throughout all aspects of her play. After a pretty traumatic injury during her club season last year, she was not able to play during her sophomore HS season. We are thankful and are so blessed that she is able to be with us on the court this year. She was voted co-captain this year by her teammates - a much deserved and fitting role! Alexis has the ability and skills to play in the higher collegiate levels. It will be exciting to see the plans that God has in store for her when that time comes!"

Quotes from Eden Christian assistant coach Lindsay Oliver: "Alexis is a steady presence in the back row for ECA - a captain and backbone of our team! She is an incredibly committed, positive and consistently exceptional force on and off the court - we are blessed to have her back this year."

Quotes from Eden Christian assistant coach Kelly Amorose: "Alexis is one of the most reliable players I’ve ever seen on a volleyball court. Her knowledge of the game and awareness of positioning/placement on the court of not only herself but her teammates, as well, is something that can’t be taught. She’s truly captivating to watch."

Quotes from Eden Christian assistant coach Bob Babish: "She’s our glue that holds the team together! She’s involved in every ball both on offense and defense."
