Talk about how your summer has been going.
"My summer has been going really well. I've been here for summer session I and II, so a lot of school work but I've managed to find time for some fun. Perry [Ramsey] and I recently went to Hanging Rock State Park, so that was a nice trip."

How excited are you to play in the newly renovated Reynolds Coliseum?
"I'm really excited, especially because we'll have air conditioning. It will be a super nice experience and being on the first team to play in there will be really cool."

Have you been able to get in the gym this summer?
"We have open gym at least four times a week, so we've been getting in there and getting work done."

Was there anything in particular that you wanted to work on this summer for the season?
"I wanted to work on having a flatter and tougher float serve."

What are your goals for the team this year?
"With a new coach, we have a lot of expectations that we're going to have a much better season than we did last year. We want to out team our opponents and out work them as well."

What are your individual goals for your season?
"To do whatever I can to make the team better and have an important role on the team."

Have you had a chance to take any personal trips yet or do you have any planned?
"For the Fourth of July, some of us went to the beach and Perry and I made the trip to the state park but not much outside of those two."
