Amy Grabiec took over as CSU's libero last season and never looked back, finishing with 545 digs, the second most in a single season in program history. One of the scrappiest players in the league, Grabiec possesses outstanding ball control skills, while her precision passing often keeps the Vikings in their system and allows good opportunities for attackers. She has grown and matured as a player during her four years in the program and will once again be counted on to lead the backrow this season.
