Coach Posey on Taylor: "We are excited to announce Blair Taylor as a new member of our Roo Family, although it feels like Blair has been part of our family as she has attended volleyball camp since she was a seventh grader! Blair brings a level of energy and enthusiasm to any team for which she is competing. As a defender, she is fearless and selfless. As a teammate, she is communicative, dependable and coachable. A gifted student academically and a passionate student of the game, we will appreciate Blair's contributions on and off the court. An 'energizer bunny' type player, she embodies our relentless style of play and will fit nicely with our defensive schemes. Never one to look for the spotlight, we believe Blair will play an important role in our program!"
