Meet the Players: Abbi Williams: Outside Hitter

I have never been the biggest player out on the court but these big girls have never intimidated me because I was used to playing against girls that were much taller than me. We were playing Fusion in the semi-finals in a huge tournament that we wanted to win. Me and her had been battling the entire game and we had people from all over the gym coming to watch this great game. It was 24-23 in the 4th game. One more point and we advanced to the finals. I remember my coach told me "Abbi, do not let her get that ball across the net again" and with the biggest jump i had left in me, I didn't let her. We won the game and I blocked one of the best players in the nation. This was the best feeling in the world because my coach was so confident in me that I didn't think I was going to block her that point, I KNEW I was going to block her. I became a much more confident player from this point on and I will never forget this epic win against Fusion.
