Following the completion of her high school volleyball career, Sydney Churchill has chosen Owens Community College (OCC) to continue her education and join OCC’s volleyball program.  The Express Volleyball team is recognized as one of the top National Collegiate Athletic Association Junior College (NCAAJC) volleyball programs in the nation, having recently won three NCAAJC National Championships and finishing as runner-up last season under Head Coach Sonny Lewis.

“Sydney has been a really great asset to our program,” said Delta’s four-year head coach Heather Carrisalez. “She is a setter and a hitter.  So, she plays all the way around.  She is a great server.  She was there when we needed her and she made good plays all the time.”

Sydney helped lead the Lady Panthers to a second-place finish in the NWOAL with a 6-1 record and a 13-10 record overall.  She was named to the Second Team All-NWOAL and Honorable Mention in District Seven.  In the “off” season, Sydney played club volleyball at Athlete Headquarters in Sylvania which did not leave her much time to compete in other high school sports.

“I went on a visit in the early Spring after talking to Denny (Asst Coach Caldwell) for a while, most of the year, and I just loved the atmosphere.” said Sydney explaining her reasons for choosing OCC.   They are both great coaches and they are very passionate for the sport and I’m really excited.”

In the classroom, Sydney will be majoring in Psychology with a goal of completing her two years at OCC and transferring to a four-year college to continue her Psychology studies.  She also plans on helping the Express to another national title.
