DDN: Raider volleyball veterans lead way to another Horizon League tourney title

2023 Volleyball Team

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Callie Martin could have moved on to the next phase of her life.

Katie Meyer and Megan Alders could have, too.

All three finished their senior years in 2022 and had to decide whether to take their fifth seasons of eligibility. They all did — and what swayed them was the chance to lead the Wright State volleyball team to another Horizon League championship.

“I’d keep coming back if I could. Obviously, winning is great. But doing it with these girls is even better,” said Martin, named the league player of the year last week.

Looking around at the smiling faces after they accomplished their goal, she said, “This is the best feeling.”

The top-seeded Raiders knocked off second-seeded Green Bay in the finals, 25-14, 25-16 and 25-18 before 710 vocal fans to claim their second straight tourney title and claim an automatic NCAA tourney bid.
