CU Recruiting Class Named Honorable Mention
May 11, 2020 | Volleyball
CULVER CITY, Calif. – The University of Colorado women's volleyball team's 2020 recruiting class was named an honorable mention recruiting class by PrepVolleyball.com.
Â
"We are excited for our 2020 class to get some recognition nationally," said head coach Jesse Mahoney. "It's a small class but I see them doing big things in Boulder."
Â
The Buffaloes added two recruits that count towards PrepVolleyball.com's ranking in Maya Tabron and Morgan Riddle. The team also added transfer Rachael Fara, who is not accounted for in the rankings.
Â
Colorado had the 10th-ranked class in the nation last season with seven freshmen brought in. Like this year, Leah Clayton and Meegan Hart were not a part of that ranking. With the addition of Tabron, CU now had six top-100 recruits on its roster.
Â
Tabron is a 6-foot outside hitter from Christopher High School in Gilroy, Calif. She is ranked as the 82nd player on PrepVolleyball.com's 100 Senior Aces. Tabron led her team to a 25-4 record this season with an outstanding 294 kills and .439 hitting percentage. She also has 102 digs and 39 blocks this season. She and her teammates finished the season in the Regional Semifinals of the CIF Division III Championships.
Â
Riddle joins Colorado from Chaparral High School and the Front Range Volleyball Club. Riddle was a key member of the Chaparral team this fall and helped her team to 5A State Championship. She dished out four kills in the final match as well as a pair of blocks and 15 digs. Her senior season she finished with 166 kills, 40 blocks and 264 digs. As an upperclassman, Riddle's squads had a combined record of 53-5 with a pair of trips to the championship match.
Â
Fara joins the Buffaloes most recently from Dayton University. She will be entering her sixth year of college after competing for Northwestern University from 2015-17, including a medical redshirt in 2017. After not playing in 2018, she returned to the court in 2019 for the Flyers. She appeared in 65 sets in 22 matches, totaling 99 kills for a .316 hitting percentage and 43 total blocks.
