Ginipro’s Comments: “Tierney will add some much needed depth to our pin hitter group and I was very happy when she came into the office to say she wanted to join the team. She was excited for the opportunity to play D-1 volleyball again and she absolutely fits in with our group personality-wise. Tierney has good size and comes from a great high school and club background, so I don’t think it will take her long to adjust back to the college game.”
