Our team went 3-0 today at @windycitychallenge taking 1st in our pool. Ready to 🏐 for that 🏆 tomorrow! A few past looks with that kill and solo block. My teammate Lindsay Piktel almost knocked me over 😂💪🏻💀

Coaches! If anyone's looking for a 2024 baller, this girl is IT. She can play across the whole front row and BANG 🔥🏐

And THIS right here is a BIG reason why I chose to continue my career UPIKE Athletics under the new coaching of @vbcoachkern . I can’t wait to be a part of that new #winning culture at UPIKE! Let’s go Bears 🐻🏐🧡🖤

Get over your FEELINGS, and get to work!

Instead of just telling teammates to work harder, show them how to work hard. Instead of just telling them to have a great attitude, display one. Before you can lead them with your words, you have to lead them with your actions. BE the kind of teammate you want. Lead by example!

First one for Chloe Chicoine. 🏅 ✅ Led the team with 41.5 points ✅ Back-to-back double-doubles ✅ 21 kills, 12 digs at #23 Kansas ✅ 17 kills, 11 digs vs. #19 Marquette 📰 boile.rs/3r5l6DJ
