The Sound Premier Volleyball Team announced their first
three player signings of 2013 today when they made it known that middle hitters
Jessica Sanborn, Katie Silliman and libero Anna Herold were returning to the squad
for the 2013 season. The trio were part
of the 2012 squad that traveled to Salt Lake City to take part in the Premier
Volleyball League National Championships.
“We’ve got the ball rolling on the 2013 squad by retaining
three great players from last season’s team,” said John Bryant, commissioner of
the Puget Sound Region of USA Volleyball.
The club is expected to announce that several more players from
the 2012 inaugural season will rejoin the team within the next few days.
Sanborn was part of the USA Youth National team before her
collegiate career at Michigan State University.
At MSU she was selected to the All AVCA District 2 Team and First Team All
Big 10 her junior year. She earned All
Big 10 Honorable mention during her injury shortened senior season. She is from Colbert, WA and graduated from
Mead High School.
Silliman played her college ball at Arkansas State
University and was the MVP of the 1999 Sunbelt Conference Tournament. The California native played for San Ramon
Valley High School and helped anchor the middle of the Sound Premier Volleyball
Team defense in 2012.

four times.
