“As a first-year, Abby came in with some very simple goals: work hard and see some court time. Well she did exactly that and more,” said her coach, Kira Sutcliffe. “Abby was phenomenal this season. She was such a hard-working athlete, and was very coachable.
“She was a very smart blocker, and brought great energy on the court. On top of it all, Abby is a very supportive teammate. We are very happy with Abby’s hard work this season.”
Vandop’s team produced a 7-17 record in 24 matches, finishing sixth in the North division of the ACAC.
