Kylie Marshall 12                 Class: Senior Hometown: Puyallup, Wash. High School: Emerald Ridge Height: 5-11 Position: OH Birthdate: 01/08/1988

ROB PATRICK ON MARSHALL: "Kylie really blossomed last year. She's always been a player with great skill and athleticism, and I believe she is one of the best middleback defenders in the conference. Because of that, she really helped us be successful last year. Offensively, she took some big strides. Part of that is her maturity as an outside hitter, along with us installing a tempo offense that allows her to be a little bit more successful. She's very comfortable in her position, and we are looking for a lot of leadership out of her this year. She's always been an anchor for our team, is our best passer and has learned how to attack within her means."
