In addition, Sears will become the third sister to play college volleyball as older sister Sarah Sears played at Stetson University. Father David and mother Kimberley also both played college volleyball with Davide at The Ohio State University and Kimberley at Missouri State.
Southern Miss is coming off a 27-5 season in which the Golden Eagles won the program's first Conference USA title while producing a plus-10 turnaround over 2008. The team will be led first year coach Abbey Sutherland, who was evaluated after four years seasons as an assistant when head coach Ricci Luyties left to take over the U.C. San Diego program in the spring.
