MORAGA, Calif. — Though small, the sophomore class for the 2018 Saint Mary's volleyball team packs a punch, as Jennifer "Boo" Laird and Madison Baumann both return for their second seasons of collegiate volleyball.

Laird found playing time as a rookie last season, appearing in 18 matches. She logged 95 kills and had the fifth-most blocks on the team with 43. She twice had double-digit kills in a match, posting a season-high 11 at Pepperdine on Sept.
