Sierzant responded about her rebounding accomplishment by telling the PSR, "I set this goal about two years ago and thought it was impossible, but I did it. This feeling will never go away, and I'm glad to have accomplished something that not a lot of people can say they have."
Coach's Comments:
"Veronica has been phenomenal to coach. She makes things happen and driven to succeed no matter what sport she plays. She is a threat whenever she has the ball anywhere on the court. She is also a great team player and very coachable," said Islands Coach Karl DeMasi. "I got to watch her score 1000 points and 1000 kills in volleyball, and now to coach and watch her 1000th rebound has been priceless. I have coached for over 40 years, and "V" is one of the best male or female athletes I have ever coached."
