SANFORD - Central Carolina Community College has added two new athletes to its volleyball program.

Alexis Rolka, who attended Northwood High School in Chatham County, and Kayla Stange, who attended Overhills High School in Harnett County, will join the CCCC volleyball program.

"Alexis Rolka has a background of being a strong and athletic competitor. I am expecting her to bring that mentality and work ethic to the Cougar volleyball program, which will push us to get better. Alexis will be a blocking force for the Cougars in 2019," said CCCC Volleyball Coach Bill Carter.

"Kayla Stange is an experienced volleyball player and will make a big impact on the Cougar offense from the right side. Kayla will also help solidify the blocking front for the Cougar defense. I am excited about her on-court experience at Overhills High School," said Coach Carter.

The other new additions to the CCCC volleyball program and their respective high schools are:

• Kristen Fletcher, of Northwood Temple Academy in Fayetteville.
• Jalonni Gadist, of Pine Forest High School in Fayetteville.
• Kyra Harrison from Fuquay-Varina, a Homeschool student.
• Grace McAllister, of Shining Lights Christian Academy in Raleigh.
• Aliyah Matthews, of Western Harnett High School in Lillington.
• Taylor Rosser, of Western Harnett High School in Lillington.
