My vote goes to Dana Nowaczyk! Not only did she play volleyball on Team USA last summer and is overall great team player, she loves to help out with various youth camps and clinics in her spare time passing the love of the game on.

Dana is hands down an amazing player. She plays for the top volleyball club in the area. Shes taught me everything I know. Dana is a great teammate keeps a smile on her face on and off the court. Dana's a go to girl for anything I know I can always count on her. She defiantly deserves to win.
