Penn State 2023 Season News

A small ode to Ms. Clark-who transferred to PSU as a well regarded player, but found herself behind two excellent MBs.  Katie's potential was apparently observed to be of a level that Taylor Trammell was brought in.  But Katie persevered, obviously kept a good attitude, and (we were told), trained at all 3 front row positions.  Clearly, Katie was ready to step in and saved the team's season when Taylor went down.  In the end, she was the most efficient offense against Wisconsin's withering defense. 


The team was very fortunate to have a more than competent player to replace a starter.  While there were other significant and season defining events, Katie's insertion into the starting line up was hugely impactful.


I am always grateful to players who work hard and do what the team needs often at their own expense.     

Seeing that she wants to be recruited as an OH/OPP, it looks like she doesn't want to be a collegiate setter, which I guess would make a move to another program make sense... since PSU's top priority is a starting setter. Good luck to her! Hopefully her short time at PSU was a memorable one.

If you're going to transfer, might as well go somewhere beautiful!

Followed Ali Longo’s path.  I wonder if there’s any other connection?

Luke Snyder, a setter for the PSU Men's Team, shared that his twin sister Ella, a former setter for Arizona State, is transferring to Penn State.

No official announcement from either Ella or Penn State yet, aside from Ella including PSU Volleyball in her Instagram bio... which (I think) shows her intent to play for Coach Katie. Perhaps there's details being worked out before it's official? We shall see!
