QUOTING NELSON: "One of our goals was to increase our size and Lori does just that. She gives us a lot of size either in the middle or on the right side. She has a strong arm and hits the ball real hard. She'll add to our offensive strength. I look for Lori to push for a starting position or be in the starting lineup early in the season. She transferred in from Hawaii, that's a strong program. We know her skills are strong. I would have to think that she's ready to play. She transferred because she wants to play and I really look for some outstanding things from her." 1997 at Hawaii: Played season but fought through illness ... backup middle hitter for Rainbow ... helped Hawaii to 25-8 overall record, NCAA Tournament appearance and season-long national ranking ... appeared in seven matches and nine games ... hit .267 after being slowed by an illness earlier in year ... recorded three kills and two blocks while replacing starter Jennifer Roberts in the Western Athletic Conference championship game against Brigham Young. 1996 at Hawaii: Redshirted season at Hawaii due to injury. 1995 at Hawaii: Played in just 22 games during 19 matches but showed signs of becoming a solid force at the net ... hit .393 on the season ... put together four-game stint where she hit .419 in back-to-back series against Utah State and Nevada.
