Gratitude and Glass

TITLE: Gratitude and Glass

The Duke Blue Devils struck big with Tribe’s Charlotte Glass.

The viral 6’1” lefty setter was filled with gratitude when asked about her last few months of volleyball.

Earlier this summer, Charlotte led her talented club team to two deep runs in Orlando and

Chicago finishing 3rd, respectively. Glass said her Tribe team had high expectations for the year

with new key pieces. Falling just short of a National Title, twice, in 16 Open stings a little but

Charlotte said “we are just like a family and love each other so much. I’m just really proud of the

way we fought”. With Glass holding down the setting duties, Gopher commit Kelly Kinney, UCLA

commit Mija Bendziute, and Tekoa Barns on the pins, and Mizzou commit Zoey Matais in the

back court...this team could be VERY good again.

I’m sure Charlotte caught everyone’s attention when she started going viral on Instagram. When

asked about it, she “was not expecting it at all. It was a bit of a shock but everyone was so

sweet and it's a cool way to connect with people”. When asked what makes her successful, the

aggressive setter credits the relationships she has with her hitters and her confident mindset.

Recruiting was “crazy” for Glass, but she kept an open mind. Getting offers on the first day of

communication was something she didn’t expect but ultimately it came down to the Blue Devils.

She wanted to find a balance of great volleyball and education, something her parents instilled

in her from a young age. “I’ve always loved the school since I was little and Duke was always at

the top of my list. I was on campus this summer and I got a gut feeling that this is where I want

to be”. Charlotte will add a lot to the Duke offense and we’re excited to see how much better she

can get before then.
