San Diego State Head Volleyball Coach Deitre Collins-Parker has announced the signing of three athletes to National Letters of Intent. The trio, which includes a pair of Under Armour All-Americans, will join the program as freshmen for the 2014 campaign.

Courtney Eckenrode is a 5-9 setter from The Woodlands, Texas, where she attends The Woodlands High School. As a senior she was named to the Under Armour All-America second team and also earned first-team All-Texas honors while helping her team to a No. 1 national ranking. She has also been recognized as a Lone Star Volleyball Senior Ace and is a three-time all-District honoree (with 2013 honors yet to be announced). This season Eckenrode is averaging 9.7 assists and 3.1 digs per set while leading the Highlanders to the Region II-5A championship final to be played on Friday, Nov. 22.

“Courtney is a talented setter that we are very fortunate to have joining our program” commented Collins-Parker. “She will come in and compete for the setting duties next fall. Courtney is currently the starting setter for her high school team which at this point is undefeated and playing this weekend for the regional championship. She is a proven winner and will be a big asset to the Aztec program.”

Deja Harris (6-2, middle blocker) was a four-year varsity starter at Calvary Chapel High School in Las Vegas where she led her team to the 2013 3A state championship semifinals, setting the Nevada record for most kills in a match with 43. As a senior she averaged 5.1 kills per set. A 2013-14 Under Armour Honorable Mention All-American, she is a three-time all-state honoree and has been named to the list of PrepVolleyball Top 100 Senior Aces. Harris also played basketball as a freshman and sophomore, earning all-league accolades in her second season. click here for full story
