This data project visualizes NCAA Women's Volleyball data
from 2012-2019. The data set was large, so I only selected a
few thousand rows from the entire dataset. The x-axis shows
number of kills and the y-axis shows the hitting percentage.
The points on the graph are also color coded to show whether
the plater was a starter or not. This visualization is
interesting because it shows that most people that are above
the average hitting percentage (about 0.2) and have high
amount of kills (about 10+) are mainly starters.
