#10 Jessica Fear Sophomore - Defender 5-5 West Chester, Ohio Ursuline Academy

Fear looks to build off a solid freshman season in which she quickly became an integral part of the Vanderbilt defense. A fixture on the left side of the defense, she played every minute of her freshman season. An excellent one-on-one defender, she can also add the Commodore offense by starting and joining the attack down the left flank. She will be expected to play an important role in the Vanderbilt defense again this season.
