Coach Posey on Henry: "We've had Sydney on our radar a long time and she worked hard at finding the right fit for her college home. It's gratifying to know our investment has paid off and we're thrilled she is joining our Roo Family! We like Sydney as a setter but we appreciate her versatility as she's had quality experience in club and high school as a six rotation outside hitter with primary passing responsibilities, a middle blocker and a right side attacker. Earlier this season, Sydney recorded 1,000 careers kills and tallied 1,000 career digs. She has led her team to the Colorado State Tournament in each of her four years and is a fierce competitor for a very good NORCO Volleyball club team. We believe she will make her mark on Kansas City Volleyball early with long-term impact on our program during her career."
