Personal
- "I had the opportunity to visit Spokane for a club volleyball tournament — while I was there, I visited with the coaching staff and took a tour of Gonzaga," Damuni said of her decision to sign with GU. "I felt at home during my interaction with the staff and team, and I chose Gonzaga because of their vision and the opportunity I have to contribute to the success of the program."
