Ranked third in Best Blocker and converted 59.0 percent of attacks at 2011 FIVB World Cup where the U.S. finished with the medal and qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games. What makes volleyball your favorite sport? She said: "Volleyball is one of the few team sports where every single person on the court has an impact on the outcome. The ball can come to you at any time, so complete focus is required. The sport represents team in every sense of the word. Also, I have so much fun playing and growing in this sport every day, that I always want to come back for more".
