VINCENNES, Ind. – The Vincennes University Volleyball team closed out their 2021 recruiting class with the big addition of six-foot-three Polish outside hitter Malgorzata Banasiak. Banasiak comes to Vincennes from Gdynia, Poland where she played for the SMS Police club team that took first place at the Polish Championships. “We were looking for a very athletic right-side player that can hit and block, because when you are in the right-front position you usually face the power hitter of the other team,” VUVB head coach Gary Sien said. “We were able to bring in a really solid athlete on that side in Malgorzata, who also has the ability to both serve and ball control as well.”
