Elizabeth Wuerstle didn't start playing volleyball until the seventh grade, when a friend's mother invited her to try out for a club team.
"I loved it from the start," Wuerstle said. "I loved having the opportunity to learn so much and being challenged."
Wuerstle was a quick learner, leading her Tower Hill School team to the Delaware state high school semifinals and earning all-state honors during her senior season. Since arriving at Johns Hopkins University in the fall of 2014, Wuerstle has lifted the Blue Jays' women's volleyball team to greater heights.
