Lamoni, IA-Head Coach Stew McDole is racking up the recruits for the fall season. The Graceland University Women's Volleyball team is signing top recruits from everywhere around the country. Kristen Hinkle from Bothell, WA, is coming next year from Shoreline Community College where she was a setter. Hinkle also played for her high school at Bothell and received first team all-state honors. Kristen is the daughter of Cheryl and Dana Hinkle and has two sisters Stephanie and Vickie. Graceland University is looking forward to having Kristen on campus and on the volleyball court.
"Kristen comes into our program as an experienced setter," says head coach Stew McDole. "She earned First Team All-State honors as a senior. She traveled widely in the USA Volleyball club circuit and built a strong base. She made a freshman decision to attend and compete at Shoreline Community College in her home state of Washington. She entered school with enough credits that she will complete her Associate's degree this summer. Hinkle will arrive on campus this fall with 3 full seasons of eligibility remaining. We look forward to the impact of her experience and skill."
