It's a Wrap: Women's Volleyball-NCAA Division II
Missouri and Kansas produced 263 athletes who competed in NCAA DII Volleyball. And did they ever produce. Kills. Blocks. Assists. Serves. They did it all on the court and in the classroom. Come see.
What is Playing On Sports?
Playing On Sports covers the graduates of 1,000 high schools located in Kansas and Missouri who compete in 11 sports in any of the 1,100 NCAA Division I, II, or III colleges and universities.
Our best athletes go on to play the sport they love in college. It is impossible to keep track of them because our lives are busy. And then there is the Transfer Portal. Contact is lost. Until now. Playing on Sports is the only publication that delivers so much information on so many athletes as they compete at the next level. No longer are they “Out of sight, out of mind”.
Every athlete is identified by their name, sport, position, class, high school, college, and collegiate conference.

I was fortunate that she was open minded enough to see my vision for where Emporia State Volleyball could go. She grew a lot this season running a 5-1 and did a tremendous job as a freshman leading the team. Yes, she can set a ball, but I was more impressed this Fall by her ability to execute a game plan, wanting to watch film, take feedback, and make in game adjustments.

She has a high volleyball IQ, understands what it takes to win, and competes hard. Riley always want to get better and puts in the work.

“Meadow has been a wonderful addition to our team. From day one Meadow earned the starting Libero position and retained it all year. She had an AMAZING opening weekend. As the season progressed, Meadow developed into a leader on the court and earned the role of court captain. In October she got a stress fracture in her foot, but she did not allow that to stop her. She was in a boot when she wasn’t on the court. One would never know she was playing through pain. Meadow is an intense competitor and I am so excited to work with her this Spring. I believe she can develop into one of the premier Liberos in the South Atlantic Conference.”
