[B]'Cuse Coaching Staff On Bozzo[/B] "Annie is a very dynamic athlete. Her experience as a hitter before she converted to a setter will give us many options on the court. She has a winning mentality and a fighter's attitude, which we could see from the first time we watched her play." "She is a great athlete, naturally very quick and explosive, which will allow her to focus more on her development as a setter, the leader of an offense. We are very excited for her to join our team this spring. The time will give her a whole off-season to work with the hitters and develop in preparation for next season."
