On Tuesday morning, she interviewed head coach Ladi Iya, then took part in several drills while the Yellowjackets practiced. She spent time learning the proper method to serve the ball, then learned how to play as the libero, the central defender who receives the majority of opposing serves and attacks, and directs them to the forward line so an attack can be launched from Rochester's side of the court.

Matches will be held starting at noon on Friday in the Palestra and the Goergen Athletic Center.
