Sand Panthers – Issue 10, Featuring Katie Friesen
By Brian Murton
The FIU beach volleyball team is now only seven weeks away from the start of the 2016 regular season. Each week leading up to the season opener on March 4, a different beach player will be featured in this weekly series. This week, Sand Panthers introduces the multi-talented freshman, Katie Friesen.
Friesen is one of the youngest players on a relatively young team. As only a freshman, she has made herself known in the FIU athletic community. Friesen is what many would consider a 'franchise player'.
