Best friends ready to lead Pacific into postseason
STOCKTON — Katrin Gotterba couldn’t bear to see her best friend struggle.
So Gotterba, an underclassman on the St. Mary’s girls volleyball team a few years ago, stopped firing service aces at Ripon Christian’s Andie Shelton.
The former Tri-City Athletic League Libero of the Year pulled back, to the chagrin of her coaches.
“I started feeling so bad. I starting laying off my serve,” said Gotterba, now a fourth-year starting libero for Pacific, who’s nearing the conclusion of her career. “I was trying to pop it in (slowly) so she could pass it perfectly.”
