Quoting Coach Tendler: "We are excited to welcome Annabelle and her family to Elon University and our volleyball program! I feel like it was a great fit for everyone. Belle not only has the experience of playing for four years at the setter position; she has that experience in the CAA. She knows what it takes to win in our league, and she is hungry to do so. Our Business Analytics program fit her needs perfectly and she will enjoy playing close to home. I've admired what Belle can do on the other side of the court for some time; I'm looking forward to having her make positive impacts on our side this fall."
