Biography

Plummer was born to Kevin and Michelle Plummer and grew up in Aliso Viejo, California.[3] She attended Aliso Niguel High School where she played volleyball and graduated in 2016.[4]

College career

Plummer was recruited by quite a few colleges but decided that Stanford would be a good fit. On May 5, 2015, she was thrilled to learn that she was admitted to Stanford with a full scholarship.[5] While at Stanford, she played on the teams that won the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Tournament in 2016, 2018 and 2019. She was named to the all-tournament team in all three years, and won the Most Outstanding Player award in 2018 and 2019.[1]

Club career

On December 30, 2019, Plummer signed her first professional contract with Italian side Saugella Team Monza.[6] She made her Serie A debut on January 19 in Monza's 3-2 defeat against Zanetti Bergamo in which she came on as a substitute and scored 9 points.[7] She was the top scorer in Monza's Coppa Italia quarter final upset over Igor Gorgonzola Novara and played a key role for her team to reach their second-ever Coppa Italia final four,[8] where they were eventually defeated by Unet E-Work Busto Arsizio in the semi finals.[9] In CEV Cup, Plummer only played in Monza's 3-1 loss in the second leg of the round of 16 match-up against Dinamo Kazan which resulted their elimination from the competition.[10][11]
