Middle Hitters Vital to UNC Success
Tar Heels lead the conference in blocks
By Ben Couch
Staff Writer
Their main job is to be a decoy,
which can be a thankless task. Once
they establish themselves as a scoring
threat, their job goes beyond statistics.
They can change the game’s momen
tum, although other players usually
receive the credit.
But the middle hitters of the North
Carolina volleyball team’s stellar per
formance this year has commanded
attention.
The Tar Heel foursome, which is
comprised of senior Holly Strauss,
juniors Aletha Green and Tammy
Foxworth, and sophomore Katie Wright
head a North Carolina team that is lead
ing the ACC in blocks, with 3.09 per
game.
And by drawing away opposing
teams’ blockers, the middle hitters open
up lanes for the outside hitters to spike
the ball. This strategy has resulted in
UNC placing third in the conference in
total kills.
The quartet feeds off of each other’s
strong play.
“I think everyone’s play makes
everybody else a lot more competitive,”
Green said. “Everyone else is playing
well, so then you have to play better. I
think that’s better for the team overall.”
UNC’s record backs Green up. The
Tar Heels have jumped out to one of the
best starts in team history, winning 11 of
their first 12 games.

The middle hitters spearheaded
North Carolina’s two wins against
Georgetown and Rutgers this weekend.
Wright led the way, totaling 19 kills
and three blocks. Strauss slammed 14 kills
and had 3.5 blocks. Green scored five kills
and three blocks on the weekend, and
Foxworth added three kills against
Rutgers on Sunday.
Strauss is the leader of the group, aver
aging an ACC-best 1.33 blocks per game.
“She’s the player who gives us a con
sistent performance day in and day out,”
said UNC coach Joe Sagula. “Great
blocking, great hitting; you know, just a
steady performance. We just need that.
We know we can always go to her, and
we know we can depend upon (her).
And you can’t ask more than that.”
When questioned about her perfor
mance so far this season, Strauss casual
ly deflected attention away from herself.
“It’s a team effort,” she said. “I would
n’t be getting my block assists if it wasn’t
for the outsides coming in. With volley
ball, the team makes you look good, no

Foxworth provides North Carolina with

Strauss has a strong service game to go
with her solid all-around play.
Sagula said the group’s diverse talents

the game,” he said. “It allows us to
change the speed of the game, the block
ing of the game. Some have particular
strengths more than others. That keeps
the opponent off guard.”
The emergence of Wright and Green
this season bodes well for the Tar Heels.
Sagula noted that Wright has been
improving her blocking and Green, her
offense. This combination means two
things for UNC.
“It means we’re getting great contri
butions this year, and the future looks
bright for the program, too,” Sagula
said. “The coach is always thinking
about the big picture and down the
road, so we’re excited about that.”
Strauss realizes that things won’t
always be as smooth as they have been
so far this year.
“Sure, there are going to be games
where our outside hitters aren’t hitting
the ball,” she said. “But our job as mid
dles is to draw the blockers, so if they’re
getting their kills, that means we’re
doing our job well.”
