Courtside Chat with Emily Steinbeck
ROB PATRICK ON STEINBECK: 'Emily came in as a newcomer last season and really helped solidify the setting position for us. She had to make some quick adjustments in terms of learning our tempo offense and our hitters, but played quite a bit and helped us win a lot of matches. She is going to be more comfortable on the court this year and I look for her to be a more consistent player all-around because of that, as well as the hard work she has put in this off-season.'
