THE LINHART OF A CHAMPION

COLUMBIANA OH- Defense is a key to any volleyball team’s success. In Columbiana, it seems to carry just a little more weight. Columbiana’s defensive dominance starts with senior libero Maci Linhart.

Maci takes her job as a libero in the back row very seriously. She brings incredible range and agility to her position. She also knows that being a libero means being the leader of the back row. She has to make sure everyone is in the right position and ready for whatever the opponent bring their way. Maci does not shy away from talking on the court. She makes it nearly impossible for other teams to get a ball past her. You can see other teams get progressively more frustrated as matches go on as they struggle to put balls down on the Clippers defense.

Maci’s work ethic is above reproach. Her coaching staff talks about how she is always the one asking for more workouts in practice. She is the one thinking of new work for the team during the summer months. It might not be her teammates favorite thing about her, but when you see what the work produces you cant help but admire the work it takes. Maci has accumulated over 1100 digs in her career, and she is not done yet. She hopes her team can make a deep tournament run, and it will all start with the Clippers lockdown defense.

Maci sat down with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig to talk about her senior campaign. They discuss being a libero, team goals set this season, and much more. Get ready for takeoff with this exclusive Clipper Volleyball player profile “The Linhart of a Champion.”
