MONTEVALLO – The University of Montevallo volleyball team has added two student-athletes for the 2008 season, it has been announced by head coach Katie O’Brien.

Anna Garrison, a 5-4 setter/defensive specialist from LaVergne, Tenn. and Rachel Wotitzky, a 5-4 setter/defensive specialist from Punta Gorda, Florida will join the Lady Falcon volleyball program this fall.

Garrison was an All-Area and All-District selection and team captain while competing at LaVergne High School. Her team went to the District Tournament from 2005-07. She was also named Volunteer Girl’s State Representative and played for the Williamson County Select Volleyball Club.
