IHCC Volleyball Recruits are Announced
Ottumwa -- Indian Hills Community College volleyball coach Terry Carlson has released the names of six recruits who will join the IHCC program this fall. In addition, Carlson said two area high school products will join the team as walk-ons.
Those players who have signed letters-of-intent with the Warriors include Carly Wehling, a 5-10 outside hitter from Wapsie Valley HS. Wehling’s team qualified for the state tournament all four years of her high school career, winning the state title in 2007. She was a Class 2A second-team All-State choice as a senior.
“Carly knows what it takes to be successful, coming from a great high school program,” said Carlson. “I have had the opportunity to watch her play during the club volleyball season and I feel she will make an immediate impact with the Warriors.”
Kelsey Lyons is a 5-9 right-side/ outside hitter from Columbus Junction HS. She was All-Conference as a junior and senior and played on the Iowa Rockets club team. Carlson described Lyons as “an all-around good athlete who will continue to improve because of her great attitude.”
Also joining the Warriors in the fall will be Tayler Hosey, a 5-9 right-side player from Tulsa, Oklahoma who played at Ft. Scott CC in Kansas last fall. Hosey averaged 1.4 kills and 1.9 digs per set at Ft. Scott and was named to the all-tournament team at the Grizzly Invitational. “Tayler will help us with the experience she gained last fall,” said Carlson, “She also played for a club team that performed well at a number of major junior tournaments last year.”
Carlson’s recruiting class also includes two players from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Bibiany Hammes and Thamara Nunes.
Hammes is a setter who has already drawn interest from a number of Division I schools. In the video of the future Warrior that he has seen, Carlson said she does an excellent job of using her hitters.
Nunes can be used as an outside hitter or defensive specialist. She was recommended to Carlson by one of his former players, Hayvolla Leite, who was an All-American for IHCC. “Thamara participated on a second-level club team in Brazil, which means she has faced some great competition,” the IHCC coach said. “Her athleticism will be an asset for us.”
Jonte Thornton’s signing was announced earlier by Carlson. She is a 5-10 outside hitter from Washington (Iowa) HS.
Marissa Barton from Ottumwa HS and Erin Molinski of Pekin HS are expected to join the Warriors as walk-ons in the fall. Both will compete for playing time as they get used to the speed of play at the next level, according to Carlson.
The Indian Hills coach indicated he would still like to sign one more player this spring.
