Netherby-Sewell on Pearson: "Molly is a high-achiever, who has never been able to spend much time focused on volleyball. Now that she will be, I'm excited to see what she's capable of. She has experience in the middle, but she's suited to be a pin hitter and has limitless potential. I'm excited to see what position she'll make an impact in her first year."
