The Ball State women's volleyball team added two more players to its recruiting class with commitments from Carly Cappello and Lauren Schreiner. The Cardinals have one of the top 55 classes in the nation, according to PrepVolleyball.com.
“We are excited to add two defensive wizards to our 2015 roster,” head coach Steven Shondell said in a statement. “Ball State volleyball is known nationwide for precision ball control, and Carly and Lauren will help us continue to be one of the nation's best ball control teams. "
Cappello finished her playing career at Bishop Noll Institute as the all-time leader in kills and digs.
A 5-foot-7 outside hitter, Cappello led Bishop Noll to the state championship match in her junior season. She was named to the All-State First Team with 650 kills and 408 digs during her senior season.
Schreiner, also a 5-foot-7 outside hitter, finished her career at Williamsville North with 1,023 kills and 2,257 digs in her career. She was an All-State Fourth Team selection in New York as a senior.
"Not only do both girls pin point the pass, they are every bit as good keeping the ball off the floor with amazing acrobatic defensive plays," Shondell said. "There is nothing more exciting in a volleyball match than watching spectacular game-saving plays being made on defense, and that is what these two defensive dynamos are all about.”
Capello and Schreiner join Ellie Dunn, Emily Holland and Brooklyn Goodsel as newcomers for the 2015 season.
