The Sixth Off-season Acquisition for Volleyball

2-13-05

Lewiston, ID-Lewis-Clark State College and head volleyball coach Erin Mellinger have looked to Walla Walla Community College in their most recent recruiting efforts. A former volleyball and basketball star at Ritzville High School (Ritzville, WA), Brittney Kubik, has signed a letter of intent to join L-C’s volleyball squad. Besides being her team’s MVP and grabbing four different school records, Kubik was named first team all American, and the East Region’s MVP. During the 2005 NWAACC Tournament she shined even more. For her efforts she was named the tournament’s MVP, and through her leadership Walla Walla Community College won their first NWAACC Championship ever.

Kubik, a 6’0” middle-blocker, will join the Warriors as a junior. She is known for both her spiking and blocking abilities, as she led her team in kills during 2005, and led the team in blocks during 2004 (as a freshman) and 2005. “We are very excited to add Brittany to our 2006 roster.  She comes from a winning junior college program and will bring leadership, experience and a winning attitude to the Warrior Volleyball Team.”, stated Warrior head coach Erin Mellinger.   Unlike the majority of Lewis-Clark State College’s recruits this off season, Kubik is coming to the Warriors after having played two full season’s of college volleyball. Five other recruits have been signed since the season’s end, and only one of them, Liz Paridis, has had experience at the collegiate level.
