Volleyball

University of Georgia head volleyball coach Joel McCartney announced on Tuesday that Adria Fecteau of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, and Kathleen Luft of Thousand Oaks, California, have signed National-Letters-of-Intent and will join the Bulldogs for the fall 2009 season.

Fecteau will graduate from Fuquay-Varina High School in the 95th percentile of her class as a member of the National Beta Club, and she serves as the student council vice president. Fecteau is also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Luft will graduate from Thousand Oaks High School as one of the most decorated three-sport female athletes of all time. Although Luft leaves the TOHS basketball program as the 2008 team Most Valuable Player and the track team with a school record in the shot put, she ultimately chose to pursue volleyball in college in the eleventh hour of her senior year.
