Johnson Accepts CSUSB Scholarship
Megan Johnson has accepted a scholarship to play for Coach Kim
Cherniss at the University of California at San Bernadino
 "We
are really excited that Megan has selected CSUSB as her top choice
for college." Cherniss said. "We think she is a super
fit for us as an athlete. But, more importantly, we are truly
sold on who she is as a team mate and a competitor; she is the
type of person we think would represent our University and Volleyball
Program in a great way."
"What really sold me was how committed Megan was to finding
the right fit for college." Cherniss adds. “She made
the effort to come to camp (and it was a commuter camp!), and then
set about to show us her wonderful volleyball skills and potential.
She has a great arm, and I really like the way she hits off one
foot. Great kid!"
Johnson was on the Zia 18-Alliance team that won the Region Open
title in 2007. She was also on the Cactus High School 4A State
Championship team in 2006 and on the Cactus High State winning
basketball team in 2006. She also participates in track.
Congratulations to Megan and the Johnson family.
