SEATTLE (Nov. 21) -Whitney Dibble, an all-league middle for Galena High School in Reno (Nv.), has signed a national letter of intent to play volleyball for Seattle Pacific University.

Dibble, a 6-foot-2 senior, is two-time all-Sierra League selection and helped lead the Grizzlies to second in the region and third at the state 4A tournament earlier this month. She was second team all-North Region player as a junior. Dibble also plays for the Silver State club.

Dibble joins Jenna Von Moos, a setter from Stanwood, as the Falcons' two early signees.

Seattle Pacific qualified for the NCAA Division II playoffs in both 2000 and 2001 under Coach Kellie Ryan. The Falcons lost only one senior from the team which was 9-16 this season, with six of the losses to nationally-ranked teams.
