November 2010 WinStar - Jessica Block

Jessica was a back-up setter last year as a Freshman to School Record Setter and All Central Virginia Player, Abby Hendrix. When Abby graduated last year, Jessica was called up to be the starting setter, even though she had only 3 games of experience as a setter the previous season. Jessica responded by setting the Single Season School Assists Record, breaking her mentors record, in her first season on the job. In addition, Jessica set the Single-Season School Record for Service Percentage this year as well.

During the Season, Jessica surpassed her sister's single season mark on her way to breaking the school record. Her sister, Sam Block, graduated from Albemarle in 2007 and is currently playing for Randoph Macon who won their conference this year and are playing in the NCAA Division III playoffs.

In addition to being a strong volleyball player, Jessica is an incredible student. While taking a very challenging academic load, she has maintained all A's this first quarter. She is also a model citizen and a wonderful young lady.
