WASHINGTON - Georgetown Volleyball Head Coach Arlisa Williams has announced the addition of Alexandra Rivera and Meghan Richard to the Georgetown volleyball roster. The two new Hoyas complete Georgetown's roster for the upcoming 2015 season.

Rivera joins seven members of the Georgetown Class of 2019 who will be putting on the Hoya uniform this fall. Richard comes to Georgetown after playing her freshman season at Seattle University. The sophomore will be eligible right away.

Both Rivera and Richard join an incoming class that was classified as the 29th-ranked recruiting class by Prepvolleyball.com out of 332 Division I volleyball programs in the country.
