The NC Wesleyan College Volleyball program is doing an alumni spotlight series. The seventh alum we are profiling is 2013 graduate Erin Quicker-Augspurger. 

Quicker-Augspurger played as a 5-foot '10 right side hitter at Wesleyan from 2009-2012. Erin was 5th on the team in kills with 133 during her senior year while hitting .178 and was also third on the team in blocks with 39. During her junior year, she was also third on the team in kills with 158 while hitting an impressive .215 with 34 blocks.

Quicker was also a big part in helping NCWC reach 20 wins in each of her four seasons at Wesleyan under Robin Pietryk. Smith's teams combined to go 87-45.

Prior to coming to Wesleyan, Quicker attended Hopewell High School in Aliquippa, PA graduating in 2009 where she lettered in volleyball. 

Erin is now married to Kevin Quicker, also a former student-athlete for the Bishops, and they reside in Gastonia, NC with their dog, Rosie.
