"Alyssa Cavanaugh is one of the fiercest competitors I have ever seen in my life.
Â
She became one of the best volleyball players in the country during her time here at WKU, but it did not come without times of struggle. And it was those very struggles, the grit and determination that she showed in the face of it, that propelled her to greatness. She has grown into a strong, mentally tough young woman and is more than capable of facing the challenges that lie ahead of her.
Â
The words that came out of my mouth more than any other during her time on The Hill were 'I believe in you' and when it comes to the fight she has in front of her, I would utter those same words to her. I will be right beside her every step of the way.
Â
I believe in Alyssa Cavanaugh."
