Shondell on Wollard: "Kenna is a terrific volleyball player that does everything you want an outside hitter to do. She can pass, she can play defense, she's a great blocker and has a very good jump. Her desire to get better is one of her most impressive attributes. She wants to become great. She's very likeable and her teammates love her. Kenna has a high ceiling. Nothing will be easy in the Big Ten, but she's coming here for a reason and wants to help Purdue do something we've never done before, like she just did with her high school program. She is going to be a great, complete player."
