Junior Samantha Chy is a member of the Law volleyball team. Advocate news Editor Lana Hanania interviewed Chy about her experience and excitement for the season.

Lana Hanania: What are you most excited about this season?

Samantha Chy: I am most excited about making states in volleyball, SCCs, and getting more wins with my amazing team.

LH: How do you think you are doing this year?

SC: I think we are doing OK. We can work on communicating on the court but overall we are a great team who enjoys playing together.

LH: Being a defensive specialist, how do you think you contribute to the team?

SC: You can’t play offensive without a defense so I think I help the team by giving the setter the best pass possible to allow our hitters the best opportunity to score a point. I think I also contribute by being loud on the court, just communicating as much as I can to help everyone on the court read the other team.

LH: What do you enjoy most about playing volleyball?

SC: I play volleyball because I love the sport and the team. I made so many friends through volleyball coming in my freshman year. It really helped me through school and learn leadership, dedication, commitment, and time management.

LH: How do you think the team will be next year?

We are losing two seniors but they are a huge loss because they really help out the team. I think we can have other people to help fill in but it won’t be the same. We have a lot of juniors who have varsity experience so I think we will be able to handle it. I think next year overall we will be good, but the seniors are a huge loss to the team, so I hope we make the most out of it this upcoming season.
