Coach Dunning on Bryn Kehoe:
"Bryn has already had a great career here at Stanford, but I know that she wants her last year to be the best one yet. Bryn's talents and experience put her in a very small group of setters in the country who will have a say in the season's outcome. She will give to her team in whatever way she can to help us be great."
