Centennial senior Kristin Anderson has signed a letter of intent to play volleyball at Millersville University, a Division II school in Pennsylvania.
Anderson, a 5-foot-10 middle hitter, helped the Eagles to their 14th state 3A championship last season. During five playoff matches, she led the Eagles in aces and blocked shots with 12 and seven, respectively, and had 22 kills.
A basketball player growing up, Anderson did not play volleyball until high school, but her experiences with her school team and a club team, the Columbia Eclipse, completely altered her athletic focus from basketball to volleyball.
"It was something that changed in me," she said in a recent interview. "When I came to the court to practice [volleyball], I felt like I really wanted to practice . . .Volleyball has just become such a big part of my life."
