Samantha Hancock

I am a 6-foot-1 RS/MB. In my freshman year, I started on the sophomore team at Downers Grove North and got pulled up to the varsity team about halfway through the season. During my sophomore season, I earned a starting position on the right side in the middle of the season, and also saw some time in the middle blocker position. I am currently playing middle for my high school team and play club at 1st Alliance. I am very academically driven and hope to continue to play at a highly competitive academic and athletic school. I can contribute to a future team's success because I bring a large amount of energy and positivity. I can be very competitive and push those around me to play at a higher level. I really value a kind and trustworthy team environment, and I believe I can make that happen by being my teammates' biggest supporters. I really value impacting my team's success in many ways. I am unique in comparison to other athletes because I am a very well-rounded player who can elevate my teammates' experience and success.
