Kaci Ruen '23 Recruiting Profile

To me, volleyball has always been my outlet where I can express myself. My coaches have always admired my work ethic and determination, but my drive to improve both athletically and academically has always made me stand out. Attending camps, open gyms, private lessons, club tournaments, and every practice and game possible has always been a big priority of mine because I believe the more time you put in on your own is just as important as attending required events.  

I have always believed that in the end my academics come first even if that means staying up late into the nights studying and doing homework for the next day after games and practices.  Commitment to academics as well as athletics is a balance that I have developed over multiple years and is one of my strengths.

I am very laid back, willing to listen and learn, and want to improve every day. My love for volleyball has taught me many lessons throughout the years and I am hoping to continue learning and improving at the game of volleyball.
