Wednesday, August 1 Class of 2006 Has FIVE Starlings Going On To Play College Volleyball
As a four year Starlings player, Ashley was selected team captain each year and received several honors and awards for her skill development and ETA. During the 2006 season, Ashley, who is normally our right-side hitter, stepped up to the challenge of being our primary setter. And she met that challenge head on --averaging 11 assists, 3 kills, 4 blocks, 3 aces, and 6 digs per game. Ashley is an academic honor student maintaining a 3.7 GPA. Her tenacity, dedication, and commitment to team will make her an asset to the FMU program. We look forward to seeing her continued growth as a player.
With two years of Starlings under her belt, Amy is a strong left-handed middle who is able to lead the attack with hitting as well as the defense in blocking. Amy often seemed ambidextrous in her ability to adjust and hit with her right hand with just as much power. She averaged 4 kills, 6 blocks (3 solo), 3 aces, and 2 digs per game. She is often mistaken for a quiet person but Amy really comes out of her shell when she steps on the court. Keep an eye on this "Big Lefty" at HNU.
Aminah averaged 5 blocks (3 solo), 3 kills, 1 dig, and 1 ace per game and we hope that she will continue to develop her hitting and blocking skills to be a key factor in the Eagle front line.
With 3 years as a Starling, Jasmine's athletic potential will only be heightened by playing on the collegiate level. She has excellent court awareness and can be counted on to make key defensive plays and powerhouse serves. She averages 13 digs, 3 aces, 2 kills, and 1 assist per game. Not to mention an excellent serve receive of 89%. Aleesha is a 2nd year Starlings player and, as we say in volleyball, "she has beautiful hands". The strategy, quickness, and power of D1 volleyball will help her develop her game to the next level. We look forward to big things from this 5'3" setter.
Two More Oakland Starlings Join The College Volleyball Ranks (Class of '05)
Tylease graduated from Berkeley High School in June and will be attending Southern University. She was a starting outside hitter at Starlings and averaged 5 kills, 4 blocks (2 solos), 2 aces, and 4 digs per game. Amecia is a graduate of Encinal High School and will be attending Alabama State University. Also a starting outside hitter at Starlings, Amecia averaged 4 kills, 2 blocks, 4 aces, 3 digs per game. Although they will once again be at different campuses, they have vowed to maintain their Starlings sisterhood. WE WISH TYLEASE AND AMECIA ALL THE BEST!
Danyel Davis Gets Her Game On At Coppin State (Class of '04)
Desiree Gulliard-Young Continues to Fly At 6'3 and 14 years of age, Desiree Guilliard-Young was continuing to sprout. And although she had previously played basketball, Desiree was looking for a change. Along came Starlings Oakland and introduced Desiree to the game of volleyball. Playing club volleyball in the summer of '98 with Starlings gave her some fundamentals and insight into this new sport. From there, she went into her freshman year at Berkeley High with the love for a new game and has never looked back to basketball. She became a volleyball standout at Berkeley High, leading the team to second-place finish in the East Bay Athletic League as a sophomore and back-to-back Alameda/Contra Costa Athletic League titles during her junior and senior seasons, going undefeated both years. She also earned several league honors as well setting school, career and season records for kills and blocks. As a 2002 grad, she received a full ride scholarship to Baylor University. Desiree had a significant impact on the squad success and became the first player in Baylor history to record 1,000 kills and 600 blocks for her career. She was also named to the All-Big 12 Honor Roll. College Volleyball Teams We cheer on all our former Starlings at their respective schools:
