For Immediate Release 30 April 2003
Southwest
Baptist Head Volleyball Coach Leslie Howe has announced the
signing of Breanna Rowland, a 6-2 middle hitter/rightside
blocker from Streator, Ill., as her first signee since taking
over the helm last month.
Rowland was a class 2A Honorable Mention selection and first
team all-conference selection last fall. As a junior, Rowland
was an all-conference honorable mention pick.
“I think she will come and contribute right away,”
Howe said. “She adds size to the team, and due to her
size, she will be a good blocker for us.”
While playing under at Streator, Ill.’s Township High
School, Rowland led the team in blocking and was among the
team leaders in kills, aces, and reception percentage.
The new Bearcat was the only player on her high school team
to play club volleyball. She was an active member for the
Illini Elite Volleyball Club based in Bloomington, Ill.
“She will contribute on the right side and middle for
us,” Lowe said. “She will be an immediate impact
to our team.”
Misti Baser, a 5-3 libro from Owensville, has verbally committed
to walkon to the SBU program in 2003.
