“Myla’s a fantastic player. They don’t call her ‘Typhoon Pablo’ for nothing. She has all the shots, wicked line hits for sure. She’s just confident. When I see her on the court and something doesn’t happen, she’s like ‘okay, next one, I got it,’” said Van Sickle of the former PVL MVP.

“I’ve been here for almost a year now. This is the best time I’m ever having. This is where I want to be. This is where I dream to play and I’m having a blast. I’m just super grateful to be able to be on this team with these girls. Everyone’s just so sweet, accepting and nice. I love my team. Very, very grateful to have this opportunity,” Van Sickle said.
