Quote from Coach Amanda Ziemba:"Katie should get the iron-woman award!  She always gives 100%, she plays hurt and always puts team before self.  She is a great player to have here at Salem College.  She really stepped up for us by playing middle (not her natural position) and she does a great job!  She is passionate about volleyball and is working hard to make Salem Volleyball a success in our conference.  It is wonderful watching her get better everyday and knowing that she has what it takes to lead our team in the future."
