At Ball State: Will have one season of eligibility for the Cardinals, after playing the last three seasons at Alabama State, while starting her collegiate career at Georgia State.

Phillips on Ashby: Christyn is going to bring a big-time presence to our right-side attack game. She brings a ton of heat offensively and is a wall at the net as a blocker. I love how aggressive she plays and the confidence she brings to the court. Any attacker will have to think twice before challenging her as she’s such a net presence. Her experience and competitiveness fit our team needs so well, and I cannot wait to get her into the gym.
