“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

over the course of the year. 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.
