Other Notes
FRICANO JOINS BADGERS
Taylor Fricano, a 6-foot-4 outside hitter from Palatine, Ill., will join the University of Wisconsin volleyball team this fall, head coach Kelly Sheffield announced last Friday.
“I’ve known Taylor for over three years and I am so excited to be able to coach her moving forward,” said Sheffield. “She’s still fairly new to the game relative to a lot of other players, but she has big-time potential. Last summer she was touching 10 feet, 6 inches without any strength training at all. She puts up a monster block and although not very polished yet, I think she’ll end up being a really good attacker. She’s a confident kid, a really hard worker, and wants to be a great player.”
Fricano, who is projected to play either left-side or right-side hitter, was ranked No. 33 on PrepVolleyball.com’s Senior Aces list. She was also a 2012 PrepVolleyball.com special mention All-American. Read her entire release here.
