Freshman setter Dana Faught, who came up just short in a
fierce preseason camp battle for the lead setter spot, has steadily impressed
the Knights' coaches in practice and earned more playing time. Faught, who has now
made two starts and got the nod in the Knights' most recent match, set
new-career highs with 34 assists and 8 digs in a five-set thriller against
Fairfield.
A native of Round Rock, Texas, Faught had no idea that she
would be returning home to play less than a month into her first semester of
college. With all of her friends and family planning to be in attendance,
Faught will look to impress against the Knights' only two nationally-ranked
opponents and only nationally televised match of the season.
While she has excelled on the court, Faught has fallen
victim to the Florida humidity and the summer rain showers on numerous
occasions thus far off the court. She does not even bother doing her hair in
the mornings anymore because she knows the humidity and the rain will likely
just ruin it.
