ULMER SAYS
“We couldn’t be more excited for Mimi to become a Duck. She is the complete package: incredible person, student and athlete. Mimi has a very high volleyball IQ, off-the-charts work ethic and a desire to be great at everything she does. Mimi will make a positive impact in our locker room and on the court.”
