Allan Hancock College student Isabella Albano has made a name for herself on the volleyball court.
As the team’s trusty libero, Albano digs roughly 5.5 balls per set, making her the leading digger in the Western State Conference and fifth in all of California. This despite a mid-season position change that diminished her chances to dig, according to Anthony Cooper, Hancock’s sports information specialist.
Albano, a dynamic player who Cooper said also excels at hitting and setting, is tough and dependable. She’s never missed a match and was unanimously voted captain by her teammates.
In school, Cooper said Albano works just as hard, and currently has a 3.9 grade point average.
