Claire Chaussee always emerges when the University of Louisville volleyball team needs someone to deliver a key hit. Shocking sometimes how hard she smashes the volleyball over, around and through opposing blockers.
That sense of elation, punctuated by an infectious smile, combined with her six years of experience on this UofL team, makes her one of the leaders on a UofL team. She’s been playing volleyball since she was 10 years old, mastering that killer instinct to perfection.
Wide-eyed opposing blockers often have a hard time concealing their shock at her amazing strength and technique.
UofL this week is ranked second in the nation by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).
