MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - West Virginia University volleyball coach Jill Kramer announces the addition of a second recruit, Halle Kearney, to the 2011 roster.
"We are very excited about adding Halle to our team in the fall,” says Kramer. “We expect her to make an immediate impact on the court. She's a very driven player and is exceptional in the classroom, as well. She will give us some much needed size at the pin.”
Kearney, a 6-foot-3 outside hitter and Middleburg, Ohio, native, has signed a national letter-of-intent with the Mountaineers after a standout career at Magnificat High.
With a hitting average above .500, Kearney was named all-Ohio as she led her school to the Elite Eight in 2010 and the Final Four in 2009.
Kearney was also a top player for Maverick 18 Elite, which won the Powerhouse Tournament and the Canadian-American Tournament in Buffalo this past season.
“Halle's club coach, Mike Sweitzer, is a former Division I head coach and does a great job of preparing his athletes for the next level,” Kramer adds. “We are really happy with the improvements she is continuing to make throughout the club season.”
Kearney joins Evyn McCoy (Clare, Ill, Sycamore High) in the 2011 incoming class.
