DiMaggio recorded double-digit digs in 36 matches, including 13 matches in a row while tallying five service aces three times during the season.
"Jamie is an experienced defensive specialist with superior fundamentals and a great mobility," Bauer said. "She has a competitive spirit and a championship mentality which we hope to see the minute she steps on the court."
Skryd, who hails from Naperville, Ill., appeared in seven matches at Baylor University and tallied 27 assists, averaging 2.70 assists per set while setting a career high of seven assists twice. The 5-9 setter recorded seven digs on the season and registered a career high four digs against University of Texas San Antonio on Sept. 1.
