#43: Volleyball – Kelsee Montagna and Cambria Waites

It’s Finals Week on campus for the student-athletes of Fresno Pacific University, but one of the greatest Sunbirds in recent memory was able to find some time to join host Paul Meadors in the ESPN Studios.  Four-year volleyball standout Cambria Waites, along with head coach Kelsee Montagna, break down the incredible and historic season for Sunbird Volleyball.Just days after their season ended in the Sweet Sixteen, Kelsee and Cam go over everything from this memorable fall that ended with a 27-2 record and conference championship.  2025 marked the rebirth of Sunbird volleyball - once the pride of Fresno Pacific Athletics – and it all began last year with the arrival of Coach Kelsee and her staff as they began to rebuild the program’s culture piece by piece.  Less than two calendar years later they are NCAA contenders unified by a love for the game and each other.  Kelsee and Cam discuss how important this progress has been and where it will take the program going forward. Plus, Cam - a Criminology major - talks true crime, and Kelsee tells the wild story her ultra-marathon runner husband accomplished while the team was competing in the PacWest Tournament.#BackTheBirds
