VINCENNES, Ind. – VU Volleyball freshman Julianna Rettig (Antioch, Ill.) signed her letter of intent earlier this week to join the volleyball program at NAIA Oakland City University in Oakland City, Ind. next season. “I had great contact with the coach and some of the players,” Rettig said. “I wanted to find a four-year school that I could settle down in for good and I thought Oakland City was a perfect choice for me. It is close to home and seems to have everything I need to succeed.” “Julianna offers quite a bit in her skillset,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “In the past, she has set, hit and played defense. She was out almost a quarter of the season but did a great job of catching up to everyone else. Julianna was able to earn playing time as a defensive specialist and had some big matches during our run in the Region tournament. She also brings the ability to set and to run a quick offense.”
VINCENNES, Ind. – 2024 NJCAA All-American Isadora Dias (Rio Grande de Norte, Brazil) signed her letter of intent earlier this week to join NAIA Park University in Parkville, Mo. next season. “I was looking for a program that would challenge me both athletically and academically while also feeling like a place where I could continue to grow,” Dias said. “Park University really stood out to me because of its competitive volleyball program and its overall environment felt like the perfect fit for me. The opportunity to play at a high level while also receiving a strong education was exactly what I wanted and after talking with the coaches, some players and learning more about the team’s culture, I knew it was the best decision for my future.” “Isadora is just ‘all in’,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “She will do everything and anything to help the team win. I see her beyond her skills as a player as someone who was one of our leaders both by her play and by what she says. Isadora s a great teammate and was consistently striving to not only better her own game but to help others. A standout player does that, they not only do well themselves but can help take others with them to succeed. Isadora was one who left her mark on this program. She is a very selfless person.”
