Hi, I’m Anna

I am a volleyball player for the University of Louisville currently in my 5^th (COVID) year. I was born and raised in Louisville and lived here my whole life.

I started my volleyball career at a club called, KIVA, Kentucky Indiana Volleyball Association, when I was 12 years old. This is when I discovered my passion for the sport and went onto play at Assumption High School. During my time at Assumption, we won 3 state titles and 2 national titles, with one being our 2018 National Championship season going undefeated with a record of 43-0. My senior year, I was named the Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year, and also, Miss Kentucky Volleyball.

Moving onto playing at the collegiate level, I committed to the University of Louisville in July 2017, with a dream of playing for my hometown. As a freshman, I had the opportunity to make an impact right away as a starter in 2020, where we made the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. My sophomore year was a year to remember. We made history, winning the ACC, going undefeated in regular season, making it to Louisville’s first final four ever to fall short to Wisconsin in 5. During the NCAA Tournament, I was selected to the All-Tournament Team. In September 2022 at the beginning of my junior season, I suffered an unfortunate knee injury during preseason in which I later found out I tore my PCL. Due to this injury, I missed 12 matches, but luckily made it back in time for post-season. Our program made history again as we made it to our first National Championship. Lastly, my senior season in 2023, we had a great year making it to the Elite 8, where I was named the ACC Player of the Year.

Currently in my 5^th and final year of eligibility at Louisville with hopes of playing professionally once my collegiate career comes to an end.
