2010 || Freshman
One of two freshman libero starters in the SEC last season, Fournier had four matches with at least 20 digs and finished the year with a team-high 3.06 digs per set. She was also second on the team with 22 service aces. Fournier started all but two matches as Arkansas' libero, and was one of two players, along with Kelli Stipanovich, to appear in all 122 sets during the season. In a career-best performance, Fournier totaled 26 digs and nine assists in a five-set match against Alabama-Birmingham in the team's finale at the Middle Tennessee Invitational. She followed that with 23 digs and five assists in the SEC opener against Georgia (Sept. 17). Against Mississippi State (Sept. 24), she tallied 20 digs and four assists. Seven of her nine matches with 15 or more digs came during SEC play, including 16 digs in a four-set win over Ole Miss at Barnhill Arena (Nov. 5). Fournier also had seven assists in that match against the Rebels. She posted a season-best three service aces against regional foe Oklahoma. Fournier was also named to Arkansas' Athletic Department Honor Roll for her work away from the court. During the spring following her freshman campaign, Fournier attended open tryouts for the U.S. Women's National Team and was later invited to spend the summer with the 2011 USA Volleyball Junior A-2 Team.

Prior to Arkansas
Fournier was a defensive specialist/libero for the South High School volleyball team in Torrance, Calif. A four-year starter for the Spartans, she earned All-CIF and All-Pioneer League honors in each of the four years during her prep career. During her junior and senior seasons, Fournier was a first-team CIF selection and league MVP. Voted the team's MVP twice, she was also a two-time recipient of the Spartan Laurel Award, given to the female student-athlete of the year. Fournier helped lead South to three Pioneer League championships and four trips to the CIF playoffs with two semifinal appearances. Her SCVC club team finished fifth at the USA Junior National Championships in 2010. In addition to her volleyball prowess, she was a two-year starter and MVP for the Spartan soccer team.
