Troy Volleyball Signs Four During Early Period

TROY, Alabama – Head coach Sonny Kirkpatrick and the Troy volleyball program have announced the signing of four student-athletes. Bethany Cullity, Savannah Moore, Sydney Pineda and Belle Waldrop have all signed and will join the Trojans' roster in 2016.

"We are really excited about this new class of players," Kirkpatrick said. "They could very well be the most accomplished group that I've ever had come in at one time. They all play club volleyball, and fill needs that we will have going into next year, and most importantly, they all come from winning programs. Add to them Logan Page, who wasn't able to play this year after surgery, and we have added a lot of needed height and ability."

Cullity, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter and defensive specialist, comes to Troy from Colorado Springs, Colo., and Cheyenne Mountain High School. She led Cheyenne Mountain to the CHSAA Class 4A State Championship this season, tallying 50 kills and 32 digs in their final four games at the state tournament.

Cullity averaged 4.0 kills per set with a .369 attack percentage and had 3.0 digs per set on her way to first team all-conference and all-state honors.

Moore, a 6-foot-2 middle hitter, comes to Troy from Newnan, Ga., Northgate High School and Tsunami Volleyball Club. She led Northgate to the GHSA AAAAA Elite Eight this season and was a GVCA All-State First Team selection.

Moore's 137 total blocks, .561 attack percentage and 82 service aces last season were all school records, as were her career 441 blocks and career .417 attack percentage. In addition to her all-state selection, Moore was also named all-region and a GVCA Senior All-Star, along with fellow signee Sydney Pineda.

Pineda, a 6-foot-1 right side and middle hitter, comes to Troy from Alpharetta, Ga., and Alpharetta High School. She was a two-time member of the AVCA National Phenom List in 2013 and 2014. Pineda led Alpharetta to a 33-13 record last season, the best in school history, and an appearance in the GHSA AAAAAA State Tournament.

Pineda hit .395 last season and had 259 total blocks, the second most in the state of Georgia. She was a two-time first team GHSA Class 6-AAAAAA All-Region selection. Pineda was also named a GVCA Senior All-Star, along with fellow signee Savannah Moore.

Waldrop, a 6-foot outside hitter, comes to Troy from Freeport, Fla., and South Walton High School. She led South Walton to back-to-back FHSAA Class 1A Final Four appearances and was named the NWF Daily News Small Schools Player of the Year last season.

Waldrop posted 308 kills, 191 digs and 50 service aces as a senior last season.
