GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum College head volleyball coach Michael Robinson has announced the signing of Ally Soldati of Lenoir, North Carolina as one of the final members of the Pioneers' incoming 2015 class.

Soldati joins Victoria Dierickx of Greenville, South Carolina, Kayla Hartley of Mishawaka, Indiana, and Melissa Mazur of Chicago, Illinois as Tusculum signees from the most recent spring signing period.

Soldati is a 6-0 middle blocker out of Hibriten High School and the Carolina Crush Volleyball Club. She is a three-time first-team All-Conference selection and was the team MVP in her final three years as a Panther. Off the court, Soldati was named to the Academic Honor Roll in all four years that she earned a letter and was a member of the Beta Club.

Soldati compiled 199 kills during her senior campaign and averaged 3.4 kills per set. She recorded 84 total blocks (80 solo) for an average of 1.4 per set. Soldati also had 130 digs, 26 service aces and 15 assists.

"Ally not only adds size to our roster, but also a great deal of athleticism and power," said Robinson. "She has a great offensive skill set and is a strong defender while putting up a fantastic block. Her knowledge of the game is extremely high and she adds a wealth of experience to our team."

Soldati and the three other spring commitments join early signees Cassie Born and Madison Shumaker as the six members of TC's highly touted 2015 freshman class.

Tusculum will be looking to build off its ninth-straight winning season and its fourth place finish in the South Atlantic Conference in 2014. The Pioneers return two All-SAC performers from last season and a pair of seniors.
