Just a few years ago, high school volleyball players Ellen Orchard and Kyna Washington played together on the Texas Tornados club team in Houston, Tex.
The two have since gone their separate ways, gracing volleyball teams on opposite sides of the country—Orchard to the Cal volleyball team in 2004, Washington to LSU in 2005.
But the two players will soon meet again—only this time on opposite sides of the net—when the No. 14 Bears take on No. 15 LSU on Friday at Mott Gymnasium at 6 p.m. in San Luis Obispo, Calif., in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
