Natalie Arm – Susquehanna University (Volleyball)
Major: Secondary Education/English with a minor in Spanish
Final list of colleges: Susquehanna, McDaniel College, Kalamazoo College
Reasons for choosing Susquehanna: “It was the best overall fit. I really liked the coach and the team.
“I’ll automatically get certified in Pennsylvania, which is really hard to do. That’s where I want to be certified, so it just made the most sense. They also have good study abroad for what I want to do. It was a combination of things.”
What was the progression that led you to competing in volleyball at the collegiate level? “As soon as I started thinking about it, it was always a yes. As soon it became something to think about or came into view, I definitely did (want to play in college) because I’ve always done it, and being from a volleyball family, I couldn’t picture not.”
Coach Scott Geller says: “Natalie is and was a known force to be reckoned with in the SOL. Her perseverance, determination and passion for this game elevated her to such a high level or the past 4 years. Watching her grow into this player has been rewarding as a coach and can't wait to see what her future brings forth.
“Both these girls have been with me for a number of years and w/o them this program wouldn't have had the success we did!”

Kate Woolsey – Delaware Valley University (Volleyball)
Major: Small Animal Science
Final list of colleges: Delaware Valley, East Stroudsburg, Penn State Abington
Reasons for choosing Delaware Valley: “I’ve always wanted to go there since I was younger. It’s close to home, and I want to stay near home, and it’s a very beautiful campus.”
What was the progression that led you to playing volleyball at the collegiate level? “I’ve been playing since fifth grade, so I’ve always liked the sport. I decided last year, and I went to a recruiting combine where a lot of college coaches come and watch you.”
Coach Scott Geller says: “Kate is the type of kid that every coach loves to have on their team. She is a true team player and always willing and able to play any position asked of her. Kate was a versatile player who really stepped up to the challenge her senior year. From opposite to middle to back row, she can play it all! She's going to have a great collegiate career and I can't wait to see what is next for her.”
