Knoxville Volleyball Standout Kayla Moats has signed to continue her volleyball career at Dordt College. Moats helped lead the Panthers turnaround this season from a one-win team in the South Central Conference last year to the undefeated conference champions. Moats told KNIA/KRLS Sports a family connection and how Dordt incorporates faith building into their curriculum, made her choose the Defenders. Moats was fourth this season in the South Central Conference with 218 kills and third in the S-C-C with 48 blocks. Moats was a first team unanimous selection on the all-South Central Conference team after being second team her junior year. Moats will study Early Childhood Education.
