Athlete of the week: Andrea Leisinger

Volleyball

Senior Andrea Leisinger is helping lead the Tigers on a deep playoff run. She recently committed to Wartburg to play volleyball.

How’s the team doing so far?

We’ve been playing well. We just came off of a break, which helped us out because we have been together for six weeks straight.

What are your goals for the rest of the season and postseason?

We want to win the MVC conference tourney, which is this weekend, win the rest of our games and make it to State and go far there.

How have you mentored the younger girls on the team?    

This is my second year being team captain, and I always try to be positive whether it’s with the JV or sophomore team and try to involve everyone.

Why did you choose Wartburg?

I chose Wartburg because I just spent the night there with one of the volleyball players, and I’ve wanted to go to a small school since last year, and I just love the coaches, and the girls are super nice.
