For Anne Kordes’ volleyball team, heading into this second season of ACC play has a certain buzz, and a certain expectation of success. Much of this was made reasonable with the addition of transfer, senior outside hitter Erin Fairs. Fairs, while having only played in eight matches as a Louisville Cardinal, is putting up critical numbers and making key contributions that are dictating the Cardinals’ success.
Through her first nine matches, Fairs leads Louisville 6-3 in kills with 139. Her timely ability to smack the ball down with lethal authority—as well as her savvy veteran presence—has coaches, teammates and fans alike excited about Fairs’ arrival.
