Behind The Numbers: One-On-One With Peyton Eisnaugle
9/29/2017 3:40:00 PM | Volleyball
CHARLESTON, S.C. --- The College of Charleston volleyball team (12-4, 2-1 CAA) heads into a critical stretch of its Colonial Athletic Association schedule, with the Cougars set to square off against two of the nation's four remaining undefeated teams in James Madison (11-0, 2-0 CAA) and Towson (16-0, 2-0 CAA) in back-to-back matches.
Sophomore Peyton Eisnaugle (Dallas, Texas) has appeared in four matches (nine sets) thus far – including one start – and tallied 14 kills on 33 swings. The 6-foot-1 middle blocker has recorded eight blocks for an average of 0.89 per set. Perhaps her best appearance of the season came on September 16 against Mercer, when she totaled four kills on five swings and added a pair of blocks in the effort. We sat down with Eisnaugle earlier this week to learn more about the person inside the jersey in the this week's edition of Behind the Numbers.
Q: What's your spirit animal?
A: A cross between a stallion and a baby hippo
Q: What's your guilty pleasure?
A: Cookie butter from Trader Joe's
Q: What's your biggest pet peeve?
A: The sound of people curling ribbon
Q: What's your favorite thing to do in Charleston?
A: Go to the battery at night, listen to the water, and watch the dolphins.
Q: How has coming to Charleston helped you grow?
A: I've become a lot more mature and independent
Q: What's your favorite place to eat in Charleston?
A: Fleet Landing on Concord Street.
Q: What cause are you most passionate about, and why?
A: Kindness. It's easier to be mean, and it's much harder to be nice, especially to people you don't like. The world is a happier place when people are nice to each other.
Q: How have your parents helped you become the person you are today?
A: They've helped me be selfless and considerate of others' wants and needs, which I try to live by.
Q: What are you going to miss most about your time at The College?
A: Spending time with the team, because I love being around them. I'll also miss the coaches, and taking the classes I enjoy.
Check back next week when we sit down with sophomore Lauren Freed (Troy, Ohio) for the next installment of Behind the Numbers.
