Munoz to Join Pacer Volleyball Program

AIKEN, S.C – USC Aiken head volleyball coach Glenn Cox announced the signing of Jennifer Munoz to a National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, May 13.
 
Munoz joins the Pacer volleyball program out of Hopewell High School in Aliquippa, Pa. Munoz played her club volleyball for Renaissance National in Pittsburgh.
 
Cox now has eight incoming student-athletes in his 2009 class. Cox signed Sara Reeves (Centerville, Va./Centerville), Samantha DeVries (Orangeville, Ill./Orangeville), Ashley Farwell (Wake Forest, N.C./Wake Forest-Rolesville), Alex Petock (Woodbridge, Va./Woodbridge) and Shannon Byers (Morristown, Minn./Fairbault) during the fall of 2008. He just recently picked up two more in April of 2009. K.D. Almaraz joins the Pacer volleyball player program out of Ventura, Calif., while Samantha Lukralle will come to Aiken, S.C. from Lindenhurst, N.Y. Both players enter the program as a libero.

“Jenn is a well trained, all-around player that can play OH or RS for us this fall,” remarked Cox. “She plays club for Mizuno Renaissance, which is one of the premier club programs in the country. Adding a lefty hitter like Jennifer to the roster adds a few more options and surprises for the Pacer offense.”
 
The first starting freshman in Hopewell’s athletic history, Munoz led her high school team in kills, aces and digs as a senior. The team captain, Munoz made the Pennsylvania All-State Tournament Team in 2008.
 
Munoz was a first team All-Section, All-Conference and All-Pennsylvania selection both her junior and senior seasons of high school.
 
In the classroom, Munoz claimed Hopewell’s Scholastic Athlete Award (3.5+ GPA) as a freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. Munoz is also a senior class representative and she currently serves as Hopewell’s yearbook editor.
 
Munoz comes from a very athletic family. Her sister, Jessica, is a diver at Clarion University and her father is the assistant men’s and women’s golf coach at NCAA Division I Robert Morris University.
