Starting setter Dyanne Lawlor has left the program, but with only the greatest excitement to take a position in the White House in Washington D.C. A 2006 psychology graduate, Lawlor was working on her master's degree in political science while finishing the last year of her eligibility with the team. A three-time Academic All-Big West selection, Lawlor is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and plans to work either in politics or law. She finishes her career with 1126 assists, 368 kills and 73 aces. Nicole Vargas will return to the lineup as the setter, where she earned All-Big West honors last season.
