Monday, April 7th saw the Niagara College women's volleyball program announce the addition of setter Bailey Davis. Davis has competed as a member of the Georgetown Rebels and the Georgetown Impact volleyball programs.
Davis will join fellow Georgetown natives Jeff Scott and Matt Scott as student-athletes competing for the Niagara College Knights for the 2014-15 season.
"I am really looking forward to the upcoming season" said the five-foot-seven Davis. "I really like the smaller campus and how nice Niagara College seems. The girls and coaching staff welcomed me with open arms, and I am excited to get started."
Davis will enroll in the Niagara College recreation and leisure services program beginning in September.
"Bailey is a very composed player with tremendous upside. She has fantastic ball control, a high volleyball IQ, and will be able to adjust and lead our offense" said Niagara College women's volleyball head coach Joey Martins. He continued "we are excited that Bailey has chosen to come to Niagara College. She understands what needs to be accomplished and will be a great offensive leader moving forward."
A graduate of Georgetown District High School, Davis said her "goals on the court are to set the best I can in every game. I want to work hard to become a better player through training. I want to become stronger, faster, and smarter on the court."
As a setter, Davis will have a number of talented offensive options next season while quarterbacking the Knights' offense.
The women's volleyball program will return 2013-14 OCAA second-team all-star Kayde Bailey, CCAA Academic All-Canadian Alexandria Botelho, and second year outside hitters Madison Morgan and Samantha Bailey. Joining the program next season will be former Brock Badgers Lucy McLay and Vaska Hamanova.
Coach Martins continued "Bailey is a quality individual who will fit in nicely with the current players in our program, and more importantly she believes in the strong academic model that we follow."
