The new libero is a surprise because we have Madi Allen who just completed a very nice freshman season as a starter and looks to be established in her role. We also have Grace Wee and Morgan Bower. Might one of them be leaving?
As a 3-time All-American, Koerber is a fantastic add on the OPP side, but I thought Grimmer was coming along nicely and could handle the spot well and Tolman was being prepared to back her up.
With Eschenberg and Ballard-Nixon returning for their Covid 5th year and Heather Gneiting coming back from her mission, I wouldn't be surprised if we are pre-season ranked in the Top 10.
