Volleyball Players to Compete in National Championships

Thanks to Coach Lichty for forwarding this great news to me (and for joining the NewsOverCoffee group on Facebook - 30 fans, 970 to go - what are you waiting for;-)

Two Nazareth HS Volleyball players, Tori Hamsher (Senior) and Jess Andres (Senior) and one Lower Nazareth Student, Brooke Lichty (6th Grade), who are a part of King of Prussia based Synergy Volleyball Club will take part in the USA Volleyball National Tournament in Miami, FL the beginning of July. Also to qualify for the National tournament was Jane Lukas (Freshman).

Both teams won the Keystone Regional Bid to qualify for this elite tournament. Synergy Volleyball Club qualified a record 7 teams for this tournament. Brooke Lichty's 12 & Under Team has taken numerous medals this year being highlighted by not only the gold to qualify for Nationals but also a bronze medal after defeating California based club Sunshine at the Northeast Qualifier in Baltimore over Easter Weekend.

Tori Hamsher has also verbally committed to play her college career at Virginia Tech, when she signs, Tori will become the first Nazareth player to receive a volleyball scholarship for a Division I school.
