Mya-Shannon	Zietek

The reigning Southwestern Athletic Conference Western Division Champion Prairie View A&M volleyball team inked two more standouts to bolster its frontlines in preparation for the 2013 season. Coach Alicia Pete announced the signing of 6-1 middle hitter Magda Zietek, a transfer from Missouri State University-West Plains, and Mya Shannon-McGlothen, a 6-0 true freshman right side/middle blocker from Long Beach Polytechnic in Carson, Calif.

Zietek was a standout middle hitter at Missouri State University-West Plains before signing with the Lady Panthers as a junior college transfer. She finished her sophomore campaign ranked 41^st in the nation (NJCAA Div. I)  with 104 total blocks and ranked 51^st with .95 blocks per set. Zietek also proved to be accurate when on the attack. Her .272 hitting percentage ranked 73^rd nationally. She tallied a career-high 15 kills with a .407 attack percentage in a 3-2 loss to Hillsborough Community College on Nov. 15, 2012. Prior to that, she recorded a career-high 10 block game in a 3-2 win over Indian Hills Community College-Ottumwa.

Shannon-McGlothen averaged a hefty five blocks per game as a senior at Long Beach Polytechnic in Carson, Calif. The right side/middle blocker has been recorded as having a 28-inch vertical jump and a 61-inch wingspan, which will help solidify a Lady Panthers defense that struggled to get blocks at the net in the 2012 season. Shannon-McGlothen also averaged five kills per game as a senior.

Zietek and Shannon-McGlothen join junior college transfers Jade Nelson and Jazmine Hicks along with freshman Lenecia Tyson as 2013 signees for the Lady Panthers.
