Summer Spotlight: Anna Carbone, Women's Volleyball & Swimming
Due to the overwhelming response from our student-athletes, our Summer Spotlight feature will now be twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays.
Women's volleyball and swimming to-be-junior Anna Carbone was an AD3I All-Independent Women's Volleyball Second Team and USCAA National All-Academic Team honoree during her sophomore campaign. She anchored the Lady Bears' defense with a HVIAC-leading 4.32 digs per set as St. Joseph's went undefeated in league play en route to capturing their second straight regular season title.
