COACH GRAYSTONE SAYS
"Rachel had a great spring season, but has been slowed down by foot surgery over the summer to remove a neuroma. The one thing we know about Rachel is that she's very tough and won't let this take away from her senior year. She has the ability to lead us offensively every match, and her defense and blocking are always strong. Without question, Rachel is going to have a terrific season."
