Why Princeton? Princeton was one of my top choices because of its excellent academic reputation especially in engineering. However, once I experienced the beauty of the campus and I met and got to know the coaching staff and team it became the ultimate school for me.

Shweisky on Wedbush: Brady Wedbush is a very talented six rotation player who can play both outside hitter as well as opposite. Brady already has a very high volleyball IQ, but his time off this past year has given him a maturity most incoming freshmen don't yet have. Brady is cool under pressure but has a fire in him that will add a great spark to our team this season.
