Claudia Rowan '21 Recruiting Profile

I just finished my 8th year of club volleyball. I have played every position.  I started as a hitter when I was nine years old.  Thereafter, I played all the way around the court.  At age 13, I transitioned into a setting role.  During the 2018-19 club season, I was moved to a defensive specialist, which is my preferred position.  I played as libero  and DS on my 2019-20 club team.  I am always working on my passing and setting to improve those areas of my game. 

All through grade school I was team captain of my school teams.  I was team captain of my  freshman team and of the JV team my junior year.  I was moved to varsity for the 2019 district tournament.  I received coaches awards my freshman and junior years, including the versatility award and most valuable teammate award.  I am a strong and supportive teammate. I am very coachable and always strive to do my best.  I give volleyball my full effort.   I am a team player and a leader.  I can be hard on myself and emotionally invested in  my game.  But, I always maintain a positive attitude. I love to see everyone on my team succeed!  I personally like to be pushed and put out of my element so that I can continue to improve my game.  My goal as a player is to continue to play competitive volleyball at the collegiate level.

In my college search,  I am willing  to go anywhere that would be the best fit for me both academically and athletically. I want to major in civil engineering and I am interested in environmental sciences as well as atmospheric sciences/meteorology.
