It
was a long time coming for redshirt sophomore Loren Cory who saw the first action
of her UCF career as she played in all three matches this past weekend at the
Holiday Inn Select/UCF Classic. Cory impressed in eight total sets as she hit a
tremendous .458 en route to picking up 12 kills.
Cory's
size, an imposing 6-foot-5, caught the eye of the UCF coaching staff and they
offered her a scholarship as a transfer athlete after a season at Camosun
College in Victoria, British Columbia. After redshirting in 2011, Cory was
finally able to show off that size as well as the attacking ability that the she and the
coaching staff knew that she had.
A
native of Queensland, Australia, Cory joked that having teammates from Latvia
and Luxembourg made her the "least international" of the group and when
teammates try and replicate her Aussie accent, they just sound British.
