Here's an excerpt from the original article:

"A former two year college (American River) and NCAA Division I (Fresno State) volleyball player, Dzubak has the resume many players can relate to. She put in the work to be the best possible volleyball player and is doing that now on the coaching side.

"Everything she is, and has accomplished so far, she has gone out and earned; nothing has been given. Her voice is one we want in this game, and given this opportunity, she will maximize it, and she will shine for many years to come," said American River College Head Coach Carson Lowden."
