Figueroa played club and high school volleyball in Florida before she came to ECU. The first time ECU recruiters saw Figueroa was her debut at libero, the position she plays now.
“I was a setter through high school, then during my club season our libero broke her back so I started playing libero,” said Figueroa. “In the first tournament I played libero, there were recruiters there. One was from ECU, and I got an email from them.”
Figueroa never heard of ECU before the e-mail. After doing some research and an unofficial recruiting visit to the campus, she found the program to be her right match.
