The senior had 34 kills in a five-game victory over then-No.2 Mount de Sales last week - an outstanding 6.8 kills a game. The 6-foot-3 outside hitter also had two blocks and five digs and was 9-for-10 serving. She has a season hitting average of .612 and averages 6.7 kills in leading the Gators to a 7-0 start and the No.2 ranking this week in The Baltimore Sun. Recently named the No.1 recruit in the Class of 2009 by PrepVolleyball.com, Webster is in the process of visiting her top four choices: Alabama, Florida, Stanford and Texas. Last season's All-Metro Player of the Year and Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year after leading St. Paul's to the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland AConference championship, Webster played for the junior national team over the summer. She helped the U.S. win the gold medal at the NORCECA World Championship in Mexico in July.
