New transfer, middle blocker from Montana State https://fightinghawks.com/news/2023/5/2/womens-volleyball-volleyball-adds-kaycee-o-dell-from-montana-state.aspx?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

I think it all depends on what the recruits are looking for. Minneapolis has the draw of a big city, but not every athlete is looking for that. There are so many factors going into recruiting including the players preference. Gophers have lots of big name sports that fans get divided over. Their football/volleyball are well known and big sports that divide attention. There are also so many other schools in the twin cities that people root for. If a recruit is looking for a big city, then Grand Forks is not exactly the spot for them, but if they want to be in a smaller town with a passion for the sport, Grand Forks is it HANDS DOWN!!! UND is a hockey school, that is what we are known for. They have the top facilities in the school and the entire city is invested in the success of the program. That is a draw for some recruits, knowing you are a ‘top dog’ at your school and won’t be second place to football/basketball.

Does anyone know when the spring schedule will be posted? Been seeing other teams post theirs. Might try and attend one if in GF

Jordan Vail is no longer on staff

Instagram post shows a new coach hired. Joe Davidson

I think the upcoming season will tell a lot. 6 new recruits coming in making it a full roster. These girls will only be freshman so who knows who will start or play but we hopefully will see some big moves coming from the team.

Possible Roster for Next season: Setters: Peyton Sewell, Elizabeth Norris, Teagan Timperly, Kortney Carney Outside Hitters: Lauren Perugini, Olivia Edlund, McCallister Gayle, Ashlyn Olsen, Elizabeth Norris, Katy Riviere, Paige Barber, Maddy Hornyak Middles: Trinity Blackwood, Maddie Lipetsky, Sophia Ortquist, Erika Lindqvist, Marissa Stockman Liberos/Defensive Specialists: Kortney Carney, Isabelle McCormick, Skylar Darr, Kennedy Nelson, Maddy Hornyak, Jocelyn Juleson, Olivia De Jong Currently Unknown on who is staying and going, graduate students are up in the air, anyone have confirmation on if Stockman/Sewell/Carney/Lindqvist still have eligibility? Pribyl and Ward were the only ones celebrated on senior night so I am wondering what that means

Forgot the setter from Minnesota, Teagan Timperly.

Looks like next year we will have: Setters: Peyton Sewell, Elizabeth Norris, Kortney Carney Outside Hitters: Lauren Perugini, Olivia Edlund, McCallister Gayle, Ashlyn Olsen, Elizabeth Norris, Katy Riviere, Paige Barber, Maddy Hornyak Middles: Trinity Blackwood, Maddie Lipetsky, Sophia Ortquist, Erika Lindqvist, Marissa Stockman Liberos/Defensive Specialists: Kortney Carney, Isabelle McCormick, Skylar Darr, Kennedy Nelson, Maddy Hornyak, Jocelyn Juleson, Olivia De Jong Currently Unknown on who is staying and going, graduate students are up in the air, anyone have confirmation on if Stockman/Sewell/Carney/Lindqvist still have eligibility? Pribyl and Ward were the only ones celebrated on senior night so I am wondering what that means.

According to instagram, there is another recruit for 2023. @kenzel on Instagram. Looks like we will have a full roster next year. She is a libero/defensive specialist from Colorado https://www.ncsasports.org/womens-volleyball-recruiting/colorado/broomfield/broomfield-high-school/kennedy-nelson1

No idea. I would not even know how to find that out. Would assume they usually get there early day of game.

Looks like replacements for Ward, Carney, and Stockman.

Looks like 3 recruits posted so far for next year. A Middle, a Libero, and an Outside. As I was typing, there appears to be someone from the Canadian National Excellence Program. (No idea what that is, laugh out loud) Big recruits for next year.

Either way, I am staying home. Cannot be driving in weather like predicted in my old beater.

University is closed tomorrow, what does that mean for the game?
