"She is a strong team player
who takes control on the floor
and always keeps her cool. She
is the consummate team leader,"
says teammate and roommate
Erin McCormick of Angela
Georg, was last week's Housing
and Food Services athlete of the
week.
Georg, the sophomore
setter/hitter, led the women's
volleyball team to victories over
St. Lawrence, Oswego and
Nazareth in the Cortland
Tournament. She earned All
Tournament Team honors along
the way.
Angela's stats on the year are
just as impressive as last week's
performance. She leads the team
with 136 assists. Defensively,
Angela has four single blocks
while assisting on fourteen
others. Georg also places 93
percent of her services in play (69
of 74), with 12 aces.
First year coach Sharon
Gregory has been able to take
advantage of Georg's talent and
versatility. Gregory designed an
offense which allows her to use

Angela's precision setting from
the back row and her powerful
hitting from the front.
Coach Gregory describes her
sophomore star as, "An
outstanding setter and an
excellent team leader.” "She
leads by example on and off the
floor."
Teammate Kim Vollmer adds,
"Angela is full of team spirit and
is always willing to give 110
percent. She is always talking
out there; giving directions,
calling out sets, or just telling us
we can do it."
Teammates and coaches agree
that Angela keeps the team in
control with her poise and
confidence.
Coming into this year, Georg
knew she would have to become
more of a team leader with
several players from last year's
24-11 team having graduated.
She also felt she would have to
step up her game on the floor.
No small task when you consider
that as a freshman she was
among the team leaders with 29
serving aces and had 473 assists.
Despite her outstanding athletic
ability, her intelligence and court
savvy remain the strongest points

of her game.
Coach Gregory says of Georg,
"Angela rarely makes a bad
decision; she is a very smart
setter. Her play has enabled us to
use a variety of offensive
disguises designed to surprise the
opposing team."
One teammate describes Angela
as ” A great motivator. You
watch her play her heart out and
you can't help but pick up your
own game. She is just a great
leader."
When asked what makes her
such a tremendous leader Angela
replied, "I don't let things bother
me, I always try to keep my
composure, to stay cool."
She also gives much of the
credit for her and the teams
success to her teammates.
"Everyone on the team is always
hustling, we all want to win and
we know what we have to do to
reach that goal.”
When asked to describe the
team Georg explained, "We are
not a powerful team but we make
up for it with desire and hustle."

women's volleyball team has the
desire, determination and work
ethic of their S'B spark plug
