Puryea Inks Women’s Volleyball Letter with UVA-Wise

December 4, 2006

Wise, VA – Tennessee High’s Samantha Puryea has inked a women’s volleyball letter of intent to make the short trip from Bristol to Wise to play next season with The University of Virginia’s College at Wise. The setter is the second student-athlete in head coach Steve Dallman’s recruiting class.

The traditionally strong Lady Cavs’ volleyball team suffered through an injury plagued 11-17 campaign in Dallman’s first season at the helm in 2006.

Puryea earned All-Tennessee honorable mention acclaim. The 5-8 setter also garnered All-District and All-Big 9 Conference status this season.

The daughter of Fred and Denis Puryea of Bristol, TN carries a 3.8 GPA while attending Tennessee High School.
