Tigers Volleyball: Get To Know Glasper

It's just three days from the University of Memphis volleyball team's 2017 season opener and only one day until the Tigers' second Blue-Gray Scrimmage of the preseason. The scrimmage is Wednesday at 11 a.m. (CT) at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.

In preparation for the 2017 season, GoTigersGo.com is introducing this year's newcomers. Today's "Get To Know Me" is Kiyla Glasper, a senior from Olive Branch, Miss. Glasper, who transferred to Memphis from Freed-Hardeman, fell in love with the sport through a church volleyball league. She also has the incredible talent of waking up – on time – without the assistance of an alarm clock.
