OTTUMWA --- Former Indian Hills Community College volleyball player Carly Wehling has transferred to the University of West Alabama to continue her education and volleyball career.
Wehling, a native of Readlyn, Iowa and a graduate of Wapsie Valley High School, was a two-year starter for Indian Hills and improved her hitting efficiency almost 200 points in her sophomore season for the Warriors. She also set the school single-season record for ace serves with 76 and was the team-leader in kills, averaging nearly three kills per set.
UWA coach Tabitha Turner said, “Carly is going to be a great addition to our lineup. She is an outstanding player and will play a pivotal role as we move this program forward in the coming year.”
West Alabama was 21-11 overall last season and finished fourth in the Gulf South Conference.
Wehling said she liked West Alabama’s campus in Livingston, Ala. “The campus has a small-town feel which I have been used to all my life. The coaching staff at UWA is very easy to relate to and they gave me an opportunity I couldn’t refuse.”
Wehling said the school has an outstanding athletic training program which is what she plans on studying.
Indian Hills coach Lyndsey Lyon expects Wehling to continue to improve at the next level. “Carly was a great asset to our team,” said Lyon. “She was strong as a passer and hitter and was our go-to player at crucial times. She was a leader on the court and academically, and she’ll be a great fit for UWA next fall.”
Wehling also had a successful high school career, earning first-team all-conference honors three times and playing on teams that won back-to-back state titles.
