Hi Aggie fans!My name is Shelby Tamura and I am a sophomore this year at State. The best part about being a sophomore is of course, no more freshman equipment duties! But with the riddance of old responsibilities comes new ones; you have a whole year of experience under your belt and you are expected to use that knowledge to the fullest. I remember in my freshman year it was difficult to adjust to the pace of collegiate volleyball. I had a high bar set for myself coming into season and to this day I will not settle for any performance that falls short of what my teammates and coaches expect from me.
This year I am working hard to perfect my technique as well as use my knowledge to help out the freshman class below me. I believe that over a year I have grown both mentally and physically- and will continue growing to become the player that will make a difference to this team.

Hi, I'm Desiree Scott and I'm a sophomore this year and excited to be back! Last year as a freshman I started and had a blast but it was a total learning experience because I was just coming out of high school and had never played at such a high level. It was a little rough in the beginning especially having a few injuires to start off the season but in the end freshman year turned out great. This year as a sophomore it is a totally different experience because we dont have to do all the freshman duties, setting up the nets and carrying the equipment when we travel to name a few. The team also has higher expectations for each other and a team as a whole, we're closer and it feels more like a family than a bunch of individuals on a team. Which I love and is one of the main reasons I decided to attend NMSU and play volleyball in the first place. This year is also easier in school because we had a year to figure out how to do things around school fitting in homework sleep time and volleyball, and now we have it down to a science. All the support from our fans this year is awesome and I hope to see everyone continuing to cheer us on!! Go Aggies!!!
