A member of Georgia State's inaugural beach volleyball team, Milani Pickering played at GSU for four seasons (2013-2016). This week we caught up with the Arizona native, who played an integral role in taking the Sandy Panthers to two consecutive national tournament appearances.
When Pickering first visited Georgia State the current beach volleyball complex did not exist. Even without having courts, she still decided to make the cross country move because of her connections with the staff and coaches. Before arriving to downtown she already felt like a member of the Panther Family.
Pickering and the Panthers earned the program's first bid to a national tournament in 2015.
