Coach Bryant on Benter…
“Mickenzi is a player that our staff has been around since her days at FVL. She has been a tremendous opponent on the collegiate courts and someone who our team is very fortunate to have on the roster for her final season of eligibility. She has the ability to control a match from the opposite and setter positions and brings a level of experience and skill that will make our team a lot stronger this fall. We are excited to see what she can do as a Green Knight in 2025!”
