ALSO | Snorts “She’s a quiet, ‘get the job done’ kind of player,” said Head Coach Jan Wilson about Angie Georg, this week’s Athlete of the Week. Georg, a freshman setter on the women’s volleyball team, has had a sensational year. She has a total of 473 assists this season, averaging five per game. In addition to that, she has 29 serving aces which is one of the highest totals on the team. While in high school Georg was an outside hitter. However, due to the fact that the team lacked a setter this year, Coach Wilson asked her to step up to that position. “This year in order to make the transition Georg has been coming to practice and working early on setting,” said Wilson. Georg said that the transition from hitter to setter has been tough. “This is the first time 1 have ever been a setter. Now I have to handle the ball on every play. There is more of a margin of error.” Wilson agreed and said, “She has had to have a great deal of mental toughness. Each official calls the set differently. She has had to adjust to that” Barb Bailey, one of Georg's teammates, said of Georg’s sets, “She said developed them well I n Inflation, baseball style b y Wonder how reserve infielders hitting .220 came to earn more than a million bucks?

All of her sets are done with a great deal of finesse.” Tf I make a mistake, I don’t let it get me down,” said Georg. “I get back up and play hard. I play to win." Her teammates agreed saying, “Angie keeps everyone under control. She talks a lot and helps to keep everyone focused.” Georg attended Windber High School in Johnston where she was a regionally ranked hitter. When asked how high school volleyball compares to that at the collegiate level she replied, “At the college level it’s a quicker, harder hitting game.” Georg knows that she will have to step up next year since many players will be leaving. She said, ‘Til have to be more of a leader and take charge on the court” Coach Wilson doesn’t know if Georg will be a setter or a hitter next year. “If she is a setter she will be twice as good as this year. Personality wise she will be a great leader.” Coach Wilson compared Georg to apple pie. “She’s a real team player. She’s ‘down home and apple pie.’ Angie’s what America is made of. She really works hard to do her job." This year, Georg has done more than just her job. She has been one of the main reasons for the team's 24*11 record this year, the best in recent years.
