BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - In the fall, Indiana head coach Katie Weismiller and the 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 sixth Hoosier in the series is Zulauf.
Zulauf, a 6-1 outside hitter from Findlay, Ohio, helped Findlay High to a pair of Greater Buckeye League titles and the 2004 District Championship. After her senior season, Zulauf earned all-state and all-conference honors as well as a berth on Prep Volleyball's Top 112 Players in the United States list. She also garnered second team all-conference recognition for her junior season and was named the Premier Volleyball Club Most Improved Player. Additionally, Zulauf picked up all-league laurels in her sophomore season. As a member of both the Premier Volleyball Club and the Toledo Volleyball Club, Zulauf traveled extensively, including trips to Orlando, Fla., for AAU Nationals and Tampa, Fla., for the Molton Challenge. Scholastically, Zulauf claimed her school's Academic Achievement Award and Scholar Athlete Award, while being tabbed by the National Honor Society and the French Honor Society. Emily is the daughter of Lynn and Gary Zulauf.
"Emily is going to be a great outside for the Hoosiers," Weismiller said. "She is just starting to realize her potential. She has a great jump and can terminate the ball. You can look for Emily providing a lot of excitement on the outside in the next few years."
