You say Micah, I say Micha
They might spell their first names differently, but Micha Hancock of Penn State and Micah Christenson of USC both pronounce their name “Mike-Ah.”
“That’s crazy,” Hancock said. “I didn’t know that.”
Hancock already won the NCAA title, leading Penn State to the women’s national championship in December. Christenson would love to do the same thing in May for the Trojan men, making for two national-champion junior setters with basically the same name.
“That’s pretty weird, to be honest,” Hancock said.
Christenson, too, was taken aback by the coincidence.
“I have not met her, but she’s a very talented setter,” Christenson said. “And I would love to have two Micah/Micha national-champ setters this year!”
