Maes taps into hotbed of talent

One would quickly realize that more players hail from California - some 2,000 miles away from Charlottesville - than call Virginia their home state. During the past several seasons, the Golden State has produced more Virginia volleyballers than any other state east of the Grand Canyon, and Californians now compose nearly half of third-year coach Lee Maes' three recruiting classes. "California is one of the premier states that has a huge, huge area for talented volleyball players," Maes explained.
