Kansas signs two
Kansas coach Ray Bechard announced Friday that two players had signed national letters of intent to play volleyball at the University of Kansas in 2008-2009. Allison Mayfield, a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, and Nicole Tate, senior at Lindbergh High School in St. Louis, currently make up the 2008 recruiting class. Bechard commented on Mayfield in a Kansas Athletics press release.
“We are extremely excited to have Allison join our team,” Bechard said. “She is a six-rotation player who blocks well and has great back row skills. She is the type of player that is difficult to find in today’s volleyball field where there is so much position specialization.”
Bechard also recognized Tate’s talent in the press release.
“Nicole has good size and good quickness as well as great leadership skills,” Bechard said. “She is very comfortable with a 5-1 system and is capable of running a complex offense.
