PLYMOUTH, IN – Bayli Fearnow, daughter of Jeff Fearnow and Angie Schmal has signed her National Junior College Athletic Association Letter of Intent to play Volleyball at Ancilla College for the 2015 season.

Her mother, Angie Schmal who is an Ancilla Alum, who also serves as an Assistant Volleyball Coach at Culver, had this to say about Bayli, “Bayli is a good leader on the floor, she plays smart and knows where to put the ball. I am very proud of her as both a coach and a mom.”
Outside of volleyball, Fearnow has been involved in Art Club and Pep Club and has played Club Volleyball for the Knox Volleyball Club. She has volunteered at Camp-We-Can and is currently getting ready to leave on a Mission Trip to Mexico over Spring Break.
Coach Singleton remarked, “I am super excited to land Bayli Fearnow in our Lady Charger Program. Bayli is a good leader, has a bubbly personality, and really has some nice volleyball skills. I had the opportunity to watch her play several times as a junior in the local club volleyball program last spring and was impressed by how she was willing to do whatever was asked of her, I even saw her do some setting. I also love that she is involved in missions and she is a LOCAL kid, I always love getting local talent!”
Fearnow plans on working toward her Associates Degree in General Studies to start off her career at Ancilla.
