“Along with her statistical accomplishments, Clara’s love and loyalty to her team is wonderful to work with during her four years. Her desire to be a better volleyball player was evident in everything she did and she has grown tremendously as a volleyball player and leader. I’ve enjoyed watching her blossom on the court and I have so many memories of her coming in clutch for our team in big moments. I am honored that she has grown into one of the best volleyball players in Oneonta’s history and in the nation. Besides her volleyball, she is one of the most kind and humble players I have worked with. We will miss Clara next season!” Volleyball coach Ashley Coyle.
