Volleyball Announces four signings for the 2009 season
Rochester College and Coach David Crump are happy to announce the first four signings for the fall 2009 season. “My assistant coaches and I have been working hard in the off season to find the right caliber of players for our 2009 season. We not only look at the player’s skills but their academic achievements and their attitudes. We knew we would have to work hard to replace the talented senior class that in May graduated two All-Americans and two Academic All-Americans” says Coach Crump. Coach Crump also stated “I am very pleased that we have been able to sign this first group. They will definitely add strength and depth to our team, but even more than that these are quality ladies who will mesh with the returning players very well.” Look for more signings coming soon.
Coach David Crump is please to announce that Breana (Bre) Studholme will be added to the roster for the fall 2009 season. Bre is a 5’11” Outside Hitter/Middle Blocker that played for Henry Ford in 2007 & 2008. “I am very excited to have Bre as a member of our team next year. She will bring strength and flexibility to the lineup. I like her work ethic and her focus that will assist us to be a more disciplined team. Bre is an exceptional player that still has just as much potential. She will be an absolute asset to the team and the Rochester community.”
The Warrior Volleyball program is blessed to have 5’8” outside hitter, Melissa (Missy) Turonek, continue her collegiate career with Rochester College. “Missy comes to us from Oakland Community College and prior to that from Lapeer East High School. Missy is a strong multi-sport athlete and will be playing volleyball and basketball for RC. Missy will bring with her a tenacious competitive spirit that will benefit the Lady Warriors. Being a two sport athlete will be tough, but I have full confidence that Missy will excel at both.”
Coach Crump and the volleyball staff are excited to announce that Nicole (Niki) McKerracher has signed her Letter of Intent to play volleyball with the Warriors of Rochester College. The highly recruited 6’2” Middle Hitter from Goodrich High School will be an excellent addition the RC program. We expect Niki to make an impact to the program very quickly. I like that Niki is not only a great volleyball player but a great student as well. She is an excellent young lady who demonstrates an outstanding upbringing. I believe she is an excellent fit for our program and for the college.
The Rochester Volleyball Coaching staff is delighted to announce the addition of Emily Rajter to the Warrior family. Emily is a 2009 honors graduate from Troy Athens high school. “Emily will be a great addition this year at Libero. She is fast, reads well and is surprisingly strong for her 5’5” frame. Besides being a strong athlete, Emily will be a strong student. Her competitiveness and her pursuit of perfection will not allow her to quit until she has given everything she possibly can. Emily is another one of our recruits who is an outstanding young lady. She is a tremendous fit with the mission of Rochester College. We have been blessed with yet another young lady who has had an exceptional upbringing making her a great addition to what we are building here.”
