chestrating the team’s offense, making
sure hitter each gets the ball in the best
position to do damage. She has had
more than 5,000 assists in her career.
Sarafa started in varsity as a freshman,
not typical of the sport. She was
one of eight seniors on the team this
year. All were four-year starters.
“We didn’t make a big deal out of
saying this was the last time we were
going to do something. The last time
playing in Marian’s gym, the last time
in a Marian uniform, the last time driving
to a random gym for a quarterfinal
match,” she said. “We were focused on
winning a state championship.”
Sarafa will report to Kentucky on
June 8 for team workouts.
While she’s in Lexington, she’ll
meet with her academic counselor, go
through orientation with the rest of the
incoming Kentucky students, and take
classes during the summer semester
so she doesn’t have a full load during
the season.
She plans on studying business there.
She’s already met the four other recruits
to the Kentucky volleyball program.
She’s the only setter. Kentucky
brings in a setter only every other year
because of its style of play.
At 6-feet tall, Sarafa is taller than
only one other player who is coming
into the program.
“That’s going to be something I need
to adjust to,” Sarafa said. “The girls at
that level are all tall and talented.”
Several attempts were made to
contact Marian volleyball coach Mayassa
Cook for this story.
