McGuire has also maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout high school, in National Honor Society, and is her Senior Class President. She plans to major in Business Management.

"Bridget is going to shock a lot of people next year," Hill said. "She has a tremendous work ethic, great leadership skills and has her best volleyball years ahead of her. I am excited to work with Bridget, I think she will do great things at FSCC. She is exactly what every coach looks for in a setter."

Walker

Walker received All-Ozark Conference honors and well as 2011 Most Valuable PLayer. Walker has maintained a 4.2 GPA throughout high school and will be majoring in Pre-Law.

"Danielle is a very strong athlete, with a lot of great volleyball skills," hill said. "She jumps so well for her size and has a strong competitive side. Danielle can hit from anywhere on the court, making her a threat in the front and back court. She is a strong defensive/serve receive passer, so I look forward to taking her game to the next level."

Coach Hill plans to add a few more student-athletes to the 2012 class to wrap up the recruiting year.
