SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Sophia Coffey managed to play volleyball in whatever manner she could growing up: school or club, on wooden courts or the sand of Pacific Ocean beaches.
As a senior at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy in La Cañada Flintridge, Calif., she told the Pasadena Star-News how she first envisioned herself as an outside hitter like her sister, Camille, who also made the cross-country trip to play college volleyball at Fairfield University in Connecticut.
Fast forward to Wednesday night in Villanova, now a senior for the Pirates, Coffey broke into the top five in Seton Hall history in career assists.
