Adrienne DeFuria '20 Recruiting Profile

    Since I began playing club volleyball in eighth grade, I’ve become a more determined volleyball player and person.  On my high school team, I am one of only 2 juniors, along with 11 seniors. This has encouraged my competitive side as I fight during every game and practice to earn a starting spot. In my opinion, nothing beats the feeling of winning a competitive game of volleyball as a team. Keeping that feeling in mind, my everyday goal is to play better than the day before in order to improve the team and myself as a player.

     After playing indoor volleyball for awhile, trying beach volleyball has notably increased my desire to get a touch on every ball I can. Beach volleyball is such a great opportunity for me to practice diving for every ball because you have to cover at least half of the court. I never get sick of trying harder and harder to become better at the sport I love most. I know that I will be a great fit for a program that acknowledges my determination along with my desire to play and win.
     Throughout high school I have discovered my passion of working with 3D materials, whether it is with clay in ceramics class, or with food at home. I love to make functional pieces in ceramics class and bake food at home for my family. Although I want to keep baking as a hobby, I am considering fitting some kind of art into my major at college.
