Megan Taflinger didn’t know if she would play collegiate volleyball, let alone at a Division I school.
Taflinger is from Leona Valley, a small California town outside of Quartz Hill, where she graduated high school. Growing up, she worked on cars, spent time with her family, and played volleyball.
Throughout high school, Taflinger bounced around — playing for five club teams in a matter of four years. She wanted to find the right fit that would get colleges interested in her.
“I just wasn’t getting anywhere,” Taflinger said.
She knew the level of volleyball she was playing at during that particular time wasn’t high enough to get coaches’attention.
