Bloomfield, Missouri - Nicole and Kaylee Roper both signed to play volleyball at East Central College in Union, Missouri.
Both young ladies will graduate from Bloomfield High School in May.
"We loved the campus there and we get to room together," commented Kaylee Roper.
When asked about their major course of studies, "Neither of us have made a decision on that, we just want to general courses now and play volleyball," commented Nicole Roper.
"I am very excited to have both Nicole and Kaylee join us for next fall! I think their experience they bring of playing together will help us as a team since we will have a lot of new players next season," commented Lisa Mathes-Peters, East Central College Women's Volleyball Coach. "Nicole has experience of running a fast tempo offense and will work into a running a 6-2 with our sophomore returner and Kaylee has been playing the libero role a long time and will be fighting for the libero role as a freshmen. They both come from a successful program and are very hard workers. I feel they will really grasp the college level of play well and can't wait to see how they do."
