Volleyball 2025

I was at UNI yesterday and was able to watch the volleyball team take on UNi/Drake/North Dakota and St Thomas in what they call spring scrimmages. My 1st time to see the 5 new players and the team this year. I came away very impressed. The Hawks had a nice crowd there to. Iowa destroyed North Dakota and St Thomas. The games were closer vs UNI and Drake but Iowa out played them as well. Iowa has a star in Chard’e Vanzandt. A high flyer. I also liked the power of Gia McGrew, a freshmen who graduated early. The defense was so much improved overalll and the setter Ammeraal looked recovered from her injury in the fall and she was amazing to watch. I see major improvements.

They had that in UNI's practice facility, right? No seating I presume.

Just looked at the roster, I see Garcia transferred to Auburn. I was afraid we couldn't keep her

Garcia isn’t at Auburn.
She isn’t playing anywhere.

I stand corrected, she's not on the Auburn roster. But the newest pic on her Instagram page shows her wrapped in an Auburn flag, so I am puzzled.

Not sure what’s her story.

Yes, UNI practice facility. Bring your own chairs.
Iowa has a new player who took Garcia’s place. She is a BIG hitter. Improvement from what I saw.

Final VB scrimmage is the 19th at Carver. This team has added some exciting players. Looking forward to watching.
