said the trip was beneficial for more than just her volleyball skills.
"It was a really unique experience to play in all the different cities," Mayfield said. "We didn't speak much Italian and they didn't speak much English, but still, volleyball is volleyball."
The team was able to experience some unique environments during its stay in Europe and experience some game-day traditions that teams from the United States aren't accustomed to.
