She also competed in summer league games and helped her team win a championship. Morey and her teammates are very close, and because of that,  the team has great communication skills. Advocate Staff Reporter Mia Powers interviewed Morey about her accomplishments.

Mia Powers: What are your goals as a teammate this season?

Emily Morey:  My goals as a teammate this year were to always try my best in every practice and game and to always encourage and cheer on my teammates at all times. I love my team and I love to pump everyone up and be positive with a lot of energy.  

MP: What is your record so far and how do you feel about it?

EM: Our record is 12 and 4 and I am very ecstatic about our record because it shows all of our hard work, teamwork, and dedication.

MP: Personally, what is your biggest encouragement to play well?

EM: One thing that really encourages me during games is the energy of the whole team together and our positive and pumped-up attitudes.

MP: Are you looking to play volleyball in college?

EM: Yes, I would like to pursue volleyball in college. I just know I would have to work really hard and hopefully I would succeed in this journey.

MP: Why did you join the team freshman year?

EM: Honestly, the reason why I tried out for volleyball freshman year is because my aunt played in high school and college and she coached volleyball at Hamden High School and Lauralton Hall. It really encouraged me to try out the sport. I’m so happy that I took the opportunity to play this sport because I love it and enjoy every second of playing volleyball.
