Andrew Rowan is top young setter in the country.
He has confidence about him a poise about the way
he plays on the court for a young guy that's
really unique winning. The newcomer award was definitely very
rewarding. It was something I was looking to get
coming in and something I strive to achieve, he
obviously can put the ball in the right place to
the right players a lot of the time and he's
got a tremendous serve. So he's not only a
setter that can distribute the ball well, but also
score points for us. A lot of the success
comes from my amazing hitters and make the bad sense
again. Make a good set of great. I
think my style of play is pretty loose. I
try to stay as relaxed and flowy as the teammates
call it as I can. Rowan's best strengths on
the court would be his presence. I would say
he is always someone who is extremely calm and we
always know what we're going to get with Rowan,
whether the score is 00 or 2323 we know that
we're always going to get the same consistent just energy
and attitude. And for someone like me who is
a little bit more emotional and, you know,
it's kind of hard for me to hide things on
my face. Sometimes rowing, someone who I can
always trust and go to and know that he's someone
who can bring me back into the match and just
keep it focused. My favorite thing about playing volleyball
at UCL A is everything. The people are great
. Facilities are great the way to take care of
us. Obviously, we have the best coach.
So it's pretty awesome. It's pretty awesome winning the
daddy then after winning it and just reflecting on everything
we did to win it and to get to that
last game, it just makes it even sweeter a
lot of hard work when I do it. I
think the pressure coming off winning in that is definitely
exciting and a challenge for us because we know we
have to play better and we have to step up
our game and doing everything the same as we did
last year isn't gonna work again.
