Glen Oaks Community College sophomore Yaricel “Tuti” Rodriguez signed a letter of intent to continue her volleyball and academic career with the University of Pikeville, in Pikeville, Kentucky this past week.

A First Team All-Western Conference Player at Glen Oaks in 2022, her sophomore season, Rodriguez had 361 kills and averaged 3.76 kills per set. Rodriguez played for coaches Vince Strefling and Mike Crothers and will be playing for Head Coach Kris Kern at the University of Pikeville.
