DENTON (4/16/03) -- The North Texas volleyball team signed Tara Hooser, a 6-0 outside hitter from Montgomery, Tex., to a national letter of intent on Wednesday.
Hooser was a four-year starter for Montgomery High School, where she led the team to the regional quarterfinals of the playoffs the last three seasons. She ranked 11th in the greater Houston area in kills as a senior with 2.9 per game. For her efforts in 2002 she was named First-Team All-District, her high school Co-MVP, All-County Player of the Year, and will be a participant in the Texas High School All-Star game this summer.
A very well-rounded athlete, Hooser was also a three-year starter on the varsity softball team at Montgomery High. She was named Second-Team All-District and All-County in 2001 and 2002.
"Tara is a very good athlete that is going to bring a different look to our offense as a left-handed hitter," said North Texas head coach Cassie Headrick. "She hasn't tapped her potential in terms of what she can do as a volleyball player, and we are very excited about the versatility that she is going to bring to this team in the future."
