“Rachel has been gifted with tremendous athletic ability but it’s her court awareness and IQ that is special. She very rarely is in the wrong place against opposing hitters whether she is front row or back row, and she knows how to hit around a block.”

Bill Pribac

Head Coach - head coach of St. John’s High
