BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - In the fall, Head Coach Katie Weismiller and the Indiana University volleyball program announced that Laura Katherine de Lambert Holm (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North), Jessica Langert (Downers Grove, Ill./Montini Catholic), Kari Morgenstein (Lincolnshire, Ill./Stevenson), Ashley Shaufler (Salem, Wis./Westosha Central), Erica Short (Orrville, Ohio/Orrville) and Emily Zulauf (Findlay, Ohio/Findlay) will attend IU beginning with the 2005-06 campaign.
In the coming weeks, we will spotlight each IU signee individually. The third Hoosier in the series is Morgenstein.
Morgenstein, a 5-7 defensive specialist from Lincolnshire, Ill., was a two-year letterwinner who nabbed all-conference and all-area recognition her final year. Her Stevenson squad captured the North Suburban Conference, Cross Town Classic, Jacobs Invite and Stevenson Invitational crowns during her senior season as team captain. On the club circuit, Morgenstein competed at nationals in Atlanta in 2003 helped her squad to a 15th-place finish at the 2004 AAU Championships. Additionally, the daughter of Toni and Stuart Morgenstein epitomized the volunteer spirit that is so highly regarded by all Hoosiers during her high school career. She was a member of the Freshman Mentor Program, the Alternative Physical Education Program, while also earning the Prominent Patriot Award for her community service at Stevenson.
"Kari is one of those athletes that never quits," Weismiller said. "She has great court sense and is a true defensive leader. Kari will provide a great deal of energy to our practices and matches."
