MUNCIE, Ind. — As a Cowan graduate, Amber Huber has ways to connect with her athletes because she was once in the position they are now.
Huber, who’s entering her first season as Cowan’s head volleyball coach, can speak to the experiences she had as an athlete there before graduating in 2001. So, too, can her assistant coach, Lindsay Roberts, who is a Cowan graduate and former athlete as well. Huber and Roberts were a part of Cowan’s back-to-back state runner-up finishes in 1999 and 2000 in Indiana’s high school state tournament.
And of the stories Huber has shared with her players since taking over earlier this year, there’s one that stands out in her mind.
