CAROLINE WINSTEL INKS WITH PIONEER VOLLEYBALL

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Caroline Winstel has signed a national letter of intent to attend Tusculum College and play volleyball for the Pioneers announced TC head coach Nathan Baker.

"Caroline will be a welcome addition to our team," said Baker. "She is very athletic and should be fighting for playing time as a freshman and she will add some much needed depth to our squad."

Winstel earned team most valuable player honors and was named Most Outstanding Hitter while gaining All-District distinction in 2006.

Tusculum posted a 23-10 record in 2006 and finished fourth in the South Atlantic Conference.
