VERMILLION – South Dakota women's volleyball coach
Leanne Williamson is pleased to announce the addition of Alaina Wolff to the roster for the 2022 fall campaign.
Â
Wolff, from Jackson, Minnesota, spent the past two school years at Wayne State College and plans to transfer to South Dakota with three seasons of eligibility remaining.
Â
"I am so excited for Alaina to join our program," coach
Leanne Williamson said. "As we got to know her through this recruiting process, it was evident that she wanted to be a Coyote and that she was a very competitive player.Â
Â
"Those two things made her a perfect fit for this program.Â
Â
Wolff played in 26 matches and 88 sets as the libero for the Wildcats last fall, where she averaged 3.05 digs per set.
Â
She reached double digits in digs in 10 matches during the 2021 season, highlighted by a season-high 22 digs at seventh-ranked Concordia-St. Paul.
Â
The 5-foot-6-inch Wolff tallied 268 digs and 26 service aces as the Wildcats posted a 22-8 season.
Â
"She has played at a high level already and is eager to continue learning each day," Williamson added. "Alaina will fit in seamlessly to our culture of being a great student and a great athlete. I know she will represent USD well during her time here.Â
Â
"As a player, she will bring experience and a high-level skill set that will help us to continue to improve our defensive efforts."
Â
The daughter of Adam and Angela Wolff was a four-year starter in volleyball and a five-year starter in basketball at Jackson County Central High School.
