HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Southern Miss Head Volleyball Coach Santiago Restrepo announced the signing of volleyball standout Leslie VanDuinen of St. Johns, Mich.
VanDuinen, a 6-1 middle hitter/outside hitter, was a four-year letterwinner for Coach Erin Barry at St. Johns High School. She received all-region and all-conference honors for three years.
