Following Silvernail being announced as the representative of WSU in the 2023 class, Greeny tweeted her congratulations to her former teammate.

“What a privilege it was to be Sarah’s teammate for two years. Yeah … she was pretty good! Excited I get to be in Vegas next week to see her induction,” Greeny Tweeted.

Silvernail is one of two volleyball players a part of the induction class, along with UCLA’s Natalie Williams, who played both basketball and volleyball.
