After spending just one season with American University, setter Samantha Snyder transfers to Maryland starting this spring semester. With the transfer over from American, Snyder will have three remaining years of eligibility with Maryland.
While at American, Snyder helped the Eagles to a Patriot League regular season win, conference tournament title and competed in the 2016 NCAA Tournament. Playing as a serving specialist with the team, Snyder served 27 aces while adding 34 digs and 22 assists. She served a career-best five aces against Bucknell.
“Sam comes from a great volleyball background, including an exceptional high school and club programs,” said head coach Steve Aird. “She is a hard worker and a good setter, and we are excited to add depth to that position. We will experiment with systems this spring and it’s wonderful to have her in the gym.”
During her prep career, Snyder was a four-year setter for Mira Costa High School, there she was named second-team all-league and won the Bay League championship. She won a silver medal at Junior Nationals and also played club for Nike West Volleyball Club.
