Meritt Beason recently shared her thoughts on Atlanta Vibe coach, Kayla Banwarth who was appointed to the position last year. Banwarth like Beason is a former Nebraska Huskers player and was a major part of the defensive lineup of the side.

In a press-match interview, Beason expressed her excitement of playing under Banwarth and assured the latter's presence has been "comforting" for her. Additionally, she also mentioned, that Banwarth has made Beason's switch to the PVF team easier. She said:

"It's really exciting. It's comforting too cause a lot of things are pretty similar. So, it's pretty comforting. Obviously, she was a great volleyball player and a great coach and just having that connection is really special and like I said, a lot of things are pretty similar, at least so far. I've only been here a few days so it's pretty comforting and makes the switch a little bit easier to ease into things." [via Atlanta Vibe on Instagram]
