Hey Mustang fans! The Daily Campus will be introducing you to the first-year athletes throughout this semester.

First, we bring you Rachel Greiner, first-year volleyball outside hitter, from Boise, Idaho. Greiner attended Bishop Kelly High School where she was captain and received All-4A Southern Idaho Conference First Team her senior year. She was also announced state player of the week in oct. of 2013 and led the team in kills. Making the transition from high school sports to collegiate can be difficult, but Greiner is making the adjustment.

“High school is way different than college, the pace is much faster and there are more things we do, Greiner said. “We practice longer, workout harder, and have a lot of non physical things we do like have meetings and team bonding activities.”

She explains how living with people on your team makes everyone closer, making for better on court chemistry. The biggest change has been the competition and the entire team working hard.

“In high school there are two seasons and two teams you play with; your school and your club, so it will be very different to always stay with the same girls,” Greiner said.

It wasn’t only volleyball that brought Greiner to SMU. When she came to visit she loved the coaches, the team and the beautiful campus.

Outside of volleyball Greiner enjoys snowboarding, hanging out with friends, watching movies and traveling. Don’t be surprised if you catch her moving her ears, one of her interesting talents and try not to get your wrist too close to her face.

“I’m super grossed out by wrists,” Greiner said.

If you see her on campus make sure to welcome her! You can watch her in action for her first home game as a Mustang on Sept. 9 against Georgia Tech at 7 p.m.
