Chelsea Smith #8
Position: Libero
Class: Sophomore
Hometown: Manchester, N.H.
High School: Trinity
Major: Public Relations/Marketing and Finance
Conetta's Take: You will never see this athlete standing still on the court, as Chelsea is one of Simmons' scrappiest players when it comes to defense. Her eagerness to touch every ball no matter how far out of reach it may seem, Chelsea's defensive mind is a true present for any volleyball team. Watch for Chelsea and Jessica to be ranked high in the digs and serve receive percentage category in the GNAC this season.
2007: Played in 49 games ... led Simmons with 247 digs ... averaged 5.04 digs per game ... recorded a team-high 36 digs against Norwich on Oct. 7 ... made collegiate debut against Mount Holyoke on Sept. 8.
HIGH SCHOOL: Two-year varsity letterwinner at Trinity High School ... selected to All-State squad as a senior by the New Hampshire Volleyball Coaches Association ... captained team as a senior ... was named team MVP junior and senior year ... also lettered soccer and softball ... received academic honors ... volunteered for Amnesty International and Special Olympics.
