Ellen Herman
Four photos out of hundreds. Four moments out of thousands. For the last four years she has been our muscle and our brain. She has pounded the ball down, rolled it into the empty middle pocket of the court, pushed it to the deep corner. She defines the overhand serve reception. She’s determined, effervescent, and a complete delight as a person.
What will we do without her?!
We’ll move on, of course. But Ellen Herman has left her mark on the team—and in the record books. I certainly wasn’t thinking about this when we beat Notre Dame last Friday night, but that victory enabled Ellen to go back on the court the following night against Michigan, and to log her 18th kill (out of 26 for the match), which put her at the top of the all-time MAC Career Kills List.
Can we put it simply? The greatest volleyball player ever in the Mid-American Conference.
Here she is, in action and at rest.
and two six packs on Michigan gals. Ouch!
What a woman! What an athlete! What a team!
