Wells on Lang…
“It’s extremely special to bring someone from Charlottesville into our roster, even better when she can kill balls. Caroline started playing volleyball only three years ago and we’ve seen her game grow at an extremely fast rate. She has spent the last year driving up to D.C. for practices to compete in one of the best clubs in the country. Her potential is endless and we are so excited she stayed home.”
