  • Andrea McQuaid
    Senior Ace: Andrea McQuaid
PrepVolleyball writes...The ultimate versatile player, this lefty can do everything and at a high level. You need her to hit? She has a variety of shots that score with consistency. Need her in the back row? McQuaid passes impeccably and has a nose for the ball defensively. Set? After one year of training in the position, she has become an elite setter, displaying above-average athleticism in the position, improved tempo and location and the ability to keep blockers off balance. A terrific teammate and fun to coach because of her attention to detail and competitiveness, McQuaid will probably play libero for two years at Oklahoma, where she has committed, then set for two.
