OGDEN - Weber State volleyball has added two new Wildcats for the 2018 season. Helena Khouri a 5-7 libero junior college transfer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Emily Olson a setter from Victoria, Texas will be joining WSU in the fall.
Helena Khouri - Libero - 5-7
Khouri is a 5-7 libero from Rio de Janiero, Brazil. She is a junior college transfer from Eastern Wyoming College where she earned her Associate's Degree in Communications. She was named Libero of the Year in Reigion IX North and was selected by NJCAA Region IX North as an All-American nominee. She was named to the All-region First team. She finished her sophomore season ninth in the nation with 595 digs and top 25 with 4.69 digs per set.
"We are looking forward to having Helena in our gym," said head coach Jeremiah Larsen. "We lost two very important defensive players last season with the graduation of Thamires and Jesse. Helena has the work ethic, and skill set to compete to fill their shoes."
Emily Olson - Setter - 5-8
Olson is a setter from Victoria, Texas. She attended Victoria West High School her junior and senior years where she earned All-Area First Team Honors and was named the All-District Setter of the Year in 2017.
