“I’m thankful for the support and encouragement that Lees-McRae and the Athletic Department have shown for the volleyball program throughout the years. I always look forward to returning to the mountains each year, with my mind set on improving on and off the volleyball court. From the fans cheering us on in Williams Gymnasium to the faculty and staff rallying behind each student-athlete, Lees-McRae is without a doubt one big family.” Jordan Banta ’16
