Jessie has been one of my closest friends for almost 8 years. We we arch rivals in college. She played volleyball at the Univesity of Alabama- Huntsville, which was one of our biggest rivals in conference because they were only an hour and a half away from UNA. We didn't know eachother when we played but we 'hated' eachother because both of us were so competitive and knew eachother from the scouting report. After I graduated I started going to Huntsville to play in sand tournaments where I met Jessie and loved her fun-loving, free spirit. We have been friends ever since. Our relationship consists mostly of me invading her personal space to try and get on her nerves :P and her just saying "Sarah..." and pushing me away. 8 years later we are still playing with and against eachother, traveling together, laughing together, and creating mischief everywhere we go!

Kelly and I met through a mutual friend almost 4 years ago. You could say we met on a "Blind Volleyball Date". Our friend set us up to play in the Tybee Island EVP tournament together and we immediately hit it off and have been Beach/Soul partners ever since. For the past 4 years we have traveled all over the country competing in beach volleyball tournaments together and I have enjoyed every minute of it. We played in our first AVP event together, competed in our first AVP Main Draw together, and won our fair share of tournaments ;) She is not only my beach partner but one of my best friends. She is such a caring and loyal person and I am lucky to have her as my partner and friend!
