The path to becoming a routine starter for volleyball has been anything but clear for Miranda Higginbotham. One of Seton Hall volleyball’s unsung heroes, the fiery competitor has seen her game blossom from being a walk-on in her freshman year to a crucial role as a starting libero and defensive specialist.
Not even expecting to play her freshman year as a recruited walk-on, Higginbotham earned playing time as a defensive specialist. She noted the challenges in adjusting to the team while not under scholarship. The Dallas, Texas native had to understand that she was apart of something bigger than herself, focusing on the team and not the reward in order for her to get through the tough times.
