Opposite hitter Grace Frohling has brought intense physicality to USD's magical season. Frohling is part of an experienced core that meets No. 1 Texas on Thursday.
Grace Frohling is the University of San Diego volleyball team’s version of Rodin’s The Thinker. Her default expression is no expression at all. Eyes pierced in concentration. Brow furrowed. Mind locked.
Her opposite position means she lines up opposite setter Gabby Blossom and does the bulk of her net damage on the right side of the net. There’s firepower across the floor, and with Blossom accurately setting the ball from everywhere on the floor, opposing blockers don’t know where to dart about the net.
“She’s very mobile, agile,” said Petrie. “She can hit the floor well. She’s a good floor defender. She’s quick, has foot speed. And she’s a great jumper.”“I’ve definitely been more vocal and loud this year,” she said. “I’m a pretty calm player most of the time. I think I’ve found a way to still have that calmness and steadiness, yet still be excited. One way is pouring that into other people. I might get a kill and yell but I love doing it when someone else does something good.
“I think I’ve turned it into, ‘Look at me. I’m going to strut through it. I know you’re going to watch me,’ ” said Frohling. “I know it’s there. I don’t engage it too much. It’s going to happen. I just turn it into something that’s fun for me.
