BIO: Freshman Spencer Hasting (Orlando, FL/Timber Creak/Orlando Gold) is standout opposite hitter who brings a plethora of volleyball ability to the table this season. Hastings comes from a hotbed of juniors' volleyball in Florida.   He was a member of the Orland Gold USAV junior's team, and was an integral part of the 2009 Florida State Champion Timber Creak High School team.  Hastings will be an immediate impact player for Mount Ida and will be used primarily as a swing hitter.  "Since his arrival on campus, Spencer demonstrated right away that he has the skills, attitude, and dedication to earn significant court time his freshman year," said Porrell.  "His experience with Orlando Gold, coupled with him helping lead his high school varsity team to the Florida State Championship, brings a background to the Mount Ida program that we, frankly, have never had before.  He has size (6' 4"), a 35" vertical, and a live arm that will cause problems for opposing teams."
