| Joanna Peterson will use a redshirt year in 2003
after having a baby this summer. Peterson, formerly
Joanna Kaio, gave birth to her first son just over a
month before training camp opened for the
Yellowjackets. Peterson and her husband Chris, a
former football player at Rocky Mountain College,
were married in 2001. Last season Peterson played in
69 games as a defensive specialist, recording 188
digs. Her 2.72 digs per game average was
fourth-highest on the team. As a true freshman in
2001, Peterson played in 90 games and 26 matches for
the Yellowjackets. She developed into a strong
defender and server, registering 164 digs and 13
service aces. Peterson will practice with the team
during the 2003 season and return next year with two
seasons of eligibility remaining. |
