Amy Grabiec Class: Sophomore Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio High School: St. Joseph's Height: 5-6 Position: DS

Amy Grabiec may have been CSU's most improved player as last season went on, becoming a key component of the backline. Her ability to adjust to the collegiate game quickly last season was one of the largest reasons she received a lot of action during her rookie campaign. That will no doubt help her mature even more this year. She possesses great ball handling skills and is one of the top passers on the team, often putting the setter in good positions to distribute the ball to every hitter on the floor.
