She was also named to the varsity volleyball team after not playing for two years.
“During games I’ve played that went into overtime, I wanted to quit because I was tired,” Le says. “Luckily, there was a part of me that was not going to give up playing hard until we won. I knew in situations like that I would have to give it my entire heart and soul in order to win, and in the end we did win.”

After reaching this goal, she made fi rst team all league
