COLUMBUS, Ohio – Indiana volleyball alumnae Kaley Rammelsberg (2021-23) and Paula Cerame (2021-22) will be reunited as professional players with the Columbus Fury in the second year of the Pro Volleyball Federation. The two were officially announced following the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1.
Rammelsberg and Cerame both joined the Hoosiers as transfers ahead of the 2021 season. In their time in Bloomington, each was instrumental in sparking a run of team success not seen in over a decade. As the starting libero for two years, Cerame totaled 994 digs and was a mainstay in the lineup.
After missing time with injury in 2022, Rammelsberg fully recovered to become one of the most dominant middle blockers in the entire conference. She hit .365 as a graduate student in 2023, the second-best single season mark in IU history. She finished her IU career hitting .329 with over 600 kills. She was a Second Team All-Big Ten selection in 2023.
This will be Cerame's second team in the PVF after debuting with the Orlando Valkyries in 2023. Rammelsberg began her professional career in Finland and will join Columbus to open her pro account in the United States. The two will feature on a roster that includes Janice Leao (Miami), Tori (Dilfer) Stringer (Louisville) and Jill Gillen (Arkansas).
