Head Coach Lucas Hodgson is pleased to announce the commitment of local recruit Paige Phills to the Lancer women's volleyball program.
 
An outside hitter with Riverside high school and the South County Volleyball Club, Phills is an overall athlete that Coach Hodgson is eager to have join the Blue & Gold. "We are very excited to add Paige to our roster for the 2017-18 season," said Hodgson. "Keeping top local talent is very important for our program and Paige fits that to a tee. Her length and athleticism is going to make her a tough stop in OUA."
 
During her career with Riverside, Phills has been named the volleyball MVP each year since the ninth grade, and was named the 2015-16 outstanding senior female athlete. Phills helped the Rebels capture an OFSAA silver medal in 2016, while also being named the team MVP for the track & field team.
 
With South County, Phills has twice been named team MVP. Once while with the 14U team, and then the following year as a member of the 15U team.
 
As an honour roll student, the Windsor, ON native found the University of Windsor a perfect fit both academically and athletically. "The University of Windsor and the Human Kinetics program is exactly what I was looking for," said Phills. "The team is a great bunch of girls, and I will be able to focus on my education while still playing the sport I love."
