VOLLEYBALL: 2011 Roster Set For Bulldogs

The Ferris State University volleyball team has its volleyball roster out for the 2011 season. The Bulldogs are gearing up for the start of practice as it gets set to begin practice.

The Bulldogs are coached by Tia Brandel-Wilhelm, who is in her 16th season. She has a squad that is a mixture of experienced players (such as seniors Lisa Tobiczyk, Ashley Huntey and junior Samantha Fordyce) and several newcomers who could make immediate impacts with this year's team.
