I really like the team here. They are real together. We have practice every day and the girls are real, real nice with me. We have a good team.

Here it's real interesting. You don't chose players to play on the team, they're in the school.

I was excited. In Brazil, all I did was set because there were hitters a lot better than me. Here I can spike on the outside.

It's a very exciting year for us. The first day of practice, I had 30 girls show up.

The girls work on that, they play keep-away every day at practice. They know how to stall.

I told the girls that we have to come ready to practice tomorrow. We lost a close one to Galva on Friday and we have a good shot at beating them.
