June 28, 2006 SYCAMORE VOLLEYBALL ADDS THREE FOR 2006 TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State volleyball head coach Julie Krofcheck has brought in three more players for the 2006 season, with the signing of Sarah Agnich (Houston, Tex./Stratford HS) and Kristin Hunt (Reno, Nev./Robert McQueen HS) to National Letters of Intent and the addition of Robin Bondy (North Salem, Ind.), who was a student at ISU last year and will join the team as a redshirt freshman this fall. “Each of these athletes brings something a little different to the program,” said Krofcheck. “I am excited about how each of their strengths compliment the pieces we already have in place.” Sarah Agnich (6-0, MB) played three varsity seasons at Stratford High School and captained the 2005 team to the Texas State Class 5A semifinals. She also earned first-team all-district honors after her senior campaign. Agnich plays for the Houston Juniors club team which qualified for the national tournament. “Sarah brings some experience to the middle and will make an immediate impact as she comes from a very competitive club team, which will help her make a quick transition to the college game,” said Krofcheck. “She has great potential for growth on the solid volleyball foundation she will bring with her.” Kristin Hunt (6-1, MB) earned three letters at McQueen High School and earned First Team Northern Nevada 4A High Desert League honors in 2005. She also played for the Capital City Volleyball Club which is the member of the Northern California Volleyball Association. “Kristin brings some height to the program that will be a valuable asset for us,” said Krofcheck. “In addition, she is a great competitor and has an intensity about her when she plays that pushes her to become better on every play.” Robin Bondy (5-8, DS) is a great athlete that was a first-team all-conference selection in volleyball and softball at Tri-West High School. She is also the sister of former Sycamore Kristin Bondy. “Robin is a very hard worker who is eager to improve her skills,” said Krofcheck. “She will add quickness to the backline and will push the rest of the team with her strong desire to compete.” With the additions, the Sycamores will have nine freshmen on the
2006 roster. The first chance to see the 2006 Sycamores will be
in a match against the alumni on Saturday, Aug. 19 at ISU Arena.
ISU will kick off the 2006 campaign at the Central Michigan Invitational
on Friday, Aug. 26 before hosting Eastern Illinois on Tuesday, Aug.
29 in their home opener.
