It is day three of the Senior Spotlight Series this week leading up to the start of the 2017 beach season in Boca Raton, Florida, this Thursday. Today's subject is transfer and Ohio-native, Molly Shonk.
Brand-new to FIU, Shonk played two years of indoor volleyball at Georgia State before transferring to Lourdes University in Sylvania, Ohio. She was awarded Newcomer of the Year (2015), named First Team All-Conference (2015-2016), First Team All-Region (2015) and NAIA Third Team All-American (2015). Not accepting the fact that her collegiate volleyball career was over, she reached out to FIU Head Coach Rita Buck-Crockett and landed a spot on the Panthers' 2017 beach volleyball team.
