US: Who is your role model in volleyball?

US: What are your goals for the future?

EG: Finish with getting my master’s. Get a job somewhere in accounting, have kids.

EG: I want to travel. Travel anywhere.

US: What is one of your favorite games you’ve played in?

US: What are you thinking when you are blocking a ball?

EG: I am trying to read where they are going and get in that line. Once you know that you are going to block it and you get in that spot, your whole body kind of tenses up. When you block straight down, it’s the best feeling in the world.

US: Outside your immediate family, who knows you the best?

EG: Probably my friend Brynn King. I met her up here. I spend the most time with her. We kind of me when I came up here and so I’ve known her for a couple years. I spend a lot of time with her every day.
