Penn State volleyball’s Alexis Ewing is ready to make a name for herself.

The sophomore joins teammate Caroline Juricious on Her State to talk about entering year two at Penn State, developing confidence on the court and embracing the pressure that comes with being the daughter of NBA legend Patrick Ewing and volleyball standout Cheryl Weaver.

Ewing opens up about hearing that she only reached this level because of her famous family name, why proving she belongs matters to her and how she’s learning to block out the outside noise. She also shares the advice Patrick Ewing has given her, the influence her mother had on her volleyball career and why she wants to become a player Penn State can rely on when the match gets tight.

Plus, Alexis talks about her relationship with her teammates, her incredible athleticism, meeting Spike Lee courtside at Madison Square Garden, her future beyond volleyball and Penn State’s goal entering the new season.
