LONG BEACH, Calif. – Long Beach State women's volleyball head coach Joy McKienzie-Fuerbringer announced the addition of freshman right side/middle blocker Kaelyn Mack and freshman right side/outside hitter Lasi Danielson to the roster for the 2021 season. The duo join freshman outside hitter Starr Williams whose signing was announced in November.
Kaelyn Mack

Mack comes to the Beach from Mansfield, Texas where she prepped at Lakeridge High School and competed for the NRG Volleyball Club.

She was named Lakeridge High School Freshman Team Offensive Player of the Season, an award given by the coaching staff. A four-time selection to the All-District Academic Team, Mack is a competitor both on and off the court as she was on the Honor Roll.
