Meet the Players: Katie Knott: Middle Blocker





I chose to go to University of Southern Indiana because they have a great blend of athletics and academics. The first aspect that I look at when choosing a school is academics. I chose USI because the program I wanted to get into was one the of only accredited programs in the nation.
Along with academics, athletics is another aspect I look at. USI also has great athletic programs. The Volleyball program has been great and I am glad I chose to continue my volleyball and academic career at USI.


Meet the Players: Kristi DeWulf: Outside Hitter




Thinking of home makes me think of my wonderful family. My mom and I love to go horseback riding. We love to go riding at night in an open field and just stop and lay back on our horses and stare at the stars. We talk about our day and see who can see the most falling stars. My dad and I love sports. He is always my coach from the sidelines no matter what the sport.
My dad, sister and I love going to Wrigley Field to watch the Cubs play.
We love the Chicago Cubs! My sister is one of my closest friends, even though she is four years older than me. The best way to sum the two of us up is that there is never a dull moment when we are together! I have learned quite a bit from my family and know that no matter what I may come across in the future, they will be there every step of the way! *Kristi*

Spring Training Has Begun!







Finally, after a long break we are ready to get back into volleyball shape. For most of the returners this is going to be a new and unforgettable experience. It is known across the board that Spring Season is tough, but the ladies are ready to go the distance.

Happy New Years!! From your Screaming Eagles

Meet the Players: Britney Oliver: Outsider Hitter



Volleyball is full of ups and downs; which is part of the excitement. I dont't think any of the girls could have imagined what college ball would be like... that is until you're in it! Some of my favorite memories of volleyball happen off the court as much as on. On the court I would have to say warm ups for sure! (and any game that someone six-packs a girl. ICE CREAM!!!!) Just thinking about the girls, especially the seniors who I will miss DEARLY, currently is making me tear up. You realize how close you can really come, and your teammates shortly become your family. Its been an AWESOME ride with the class of 09' and I just want to say GOOD LUCK and I love you girls! And for the future I hope 2010 (wow that's wierd) is just a full with laugher, joy, and LOVE! Woot woot for USI volleyball!



Almost BBBBACK to the GYM








The Holidays are winding down. The ladies are getting anxious to get their feet back on the court and compete. But before this happens there comes time for a bit of CONDITIONING. Spring Season is among us and of course during the holidays, as many of us do, we indulge ourselves in holiday goodies. Just like for many Universities spring season can be a challenge but the results are worth the hard work.
