Bio
ROB PATRICK ON GUERRA: 'Natalie has played a lot
of club volleyball at a very high level. A lot of her
club teammates have been recruited by some of
the top schools as well, so she has played with
some very talented players which has helped her
transition into our program in terms of getting up
to speed with some of the athletic hitters that we
have. She is somebody that can make all of the
sets, will add depth this year and, as she gains
strength and experience in our system, will be a
player that can really help us to continue to be a
successful program.'
