“Many of us are not typical college students and it’s hard to meet people and build a relationship…This season has brought us all close and we have built great relationships…We made memories that will last a lifetime, after all these are the best days of our lives!”
-Megan Myers, Lady Knights Volleyball Team Co-Captain 2009
