The Creighton University Volleyball team continues to build a strong team with the signing of Steph Gaston of Papillion, Nebraska and Naomi Hickman of Lawrenece, Kansas. Both of which are ranked in the top-100 of Prep Volleyball's Senior Ace rankings.
"The game of volleyball has gotten bigger, and one of the nice things about Naomi and Steph is that they're tall, physical players," said Creighton head coach Kristen Bernthal Booth.
Booth also talked about Gaston and Hickman's roles in the upcoming years,
"Steph will be the first lefty hitter that we've had in the program since I took over, so that'll be fun from a training aspect and thinking creatively in how we use that," said Booth. "She hits at a high trajectory because of her height. She's a really dedicated athlete who wants to get better and I think she's got a really big upside."
"Naomi is an incredible blocker already," said Booth. "She's just a strong, physical presence with a big, fast arm. We see her likely in the middle."
We are excited to welcome Steph Gaston to the Creighton Volleyball family! #GoJays #Creighton #BIGEASTvb #NCAAvb
