Liz Fazio has quickly become one of the most dynamic outside hitters in the Horizon League as she finished second in kills per game (3.72) to garner a spot on the all-newcomer team last season. Her ability to finish with power and precision at the net are the main reasons that she will once again serve as one of the focal points of the CSU offense this season.
