Gifts to Support Volleyball contribute to...
Hamline Volleyball scholar-athletes strive for excellence on and off the court!
Our Spring Athletics Fundraising Week fundraising goal is $3,000, and will go towards hosting and attending tournaments next fall and costs of new hitting boxes for use in practice. Your gift will help ensure Volleyball scholar-athletes have the resources they need to continue bringing their “A” game to the competition and the classroom.
The 2023 season was a competitive one, highlighted by a conference player of the year award and multiple school records. The team earned a 3.82 GPA last semester while competing in the traditional season and had a program record 12 MIAC Academic All-Conference scholar-athletes. Junior libero, Jenna Rubbelke, was named MIAC Defensive Player of the Year, All-Region Honorable Mention, and was named MIAC All-Conference for the third time! Rubbelke led the conference in digs and digs per set, and ranked fourth in the nation in digs per set. She also set the single match dig school record with 48, and earned the digs school records for three-set, four-set, and five-set matches. Sophomore pin hitter, Ellie Lopata, recorded her first school record for the highest attacking percentage in a single match, hitting .857 with 13 kills on 14 attempts without any errors.
This spring brings additional practice dates due to the new NCAA legislation, which will allow the team to improve together over 24 dates. We will host local conference teams for a scrimmage competition for the first time in school history.
We will also co-host our annual tournament opening weekend of the 2024 season, welcoming top teams from four different states for competition. Your support ensures our tournament experience next fall is top-notch, so we can be prepared for our tough conference schedule.
Thank you for your consideration, and if you are supporting a specific player, make sure to note the player's name in the "In Honor of" section after you complete your gift.
