When did you first start playing volleyball?
Seventh grade.

Do you like playing with your sister?
I love it. It's the first time we've played together in a school atmosphere.

Have you two always played the same sports?
Yeah, I guess so.

What's your favorite candy bar?
I like Snickers. (She snickers.)

Do you have any anxiety when you're on the court?
Of course. That's what makes it fun.

Where's the best place to get bruised?
My hips because that means you're hitting the floor.

What's your favorite sport that rhymes with spaghetti? No, just kidding.

As you are doubtlessly aware, your sister has been given the nickname 'Baby Ruth'. What do you think of this?
At first I felt bad about it, but she smiled and that's all that matters.

Bump, set or spike?
I like the bump because that's where it all begins. You can go a lot of different ways from it.
