Kelley Potter is in third second season of play with the Alabama Volleyball team. A junior opposite hitter, Kelley is one of two Tide players from Edgewood, Ky. (the other is Julie Farley). A three-year starter at Bama, Kelley has seen action at several positions on the floor in her career including middle blocker, libero, outside hitter and opposite hitter. She ranks second on the team in kills per game (2.84) and also has recorded the second most double-double performances this season with four. A few weeks ago, Kelley recorded a career high 19 kills in UA’s match against Arkansas.
Kelley and her teammates are closing out their regular season schedule this week with matches at Auburn and a home finale versus Kentucky.
