Dru Ueltschi played volleyball for the Dons from 1987 to 1990. She was inducted into the Portland Volleyball Club Hall of Fame.
Despite a disappointing record in 1989, the Dons had a bevy of talent returning to this year's team. Leading the return is junior swing hitter Melanie Kaiser. Kaiser enters her junior campaign following a superb '89 in which she was named All-West Coast Conference and USF's MVP. "Melanie has the rare ability to take over a match," says Bethanis, "and she will be heavily counted on this season." Joining Kaiser at the swing hitter position will be seniors Jenny Schrack and Dru Ueltschi, as well as junior Jennifer Kokubun. All three are good athletes and are expected to provide the Netters with many offensive options.
Individually, Kaiser, MacDougal, and Ueltschi continue to be mainstays in several WCC statistical categories. Kaiser is second in kill avg. (4.08), MacDougal is thc top server (9.83 assist avg.), and Ueltschi places third in ace avg (.583) (TheFoghorn).
