Reese Maas Picks the Roadrunners

Reese Maas of Michigan Lutheran High School and Southwest Volleyball Club has signed her NJCAA Letter of Intent to play in the 1st Source Bank Fieldhouse for Head Coach Jenny Nate and the Roadrunners.

Coach Nate said of Maas, "We are thrilled to add Reese to our 2024 fall roster.  She is athletic, fast, smart, and can help run our team's offense.  The past two years while playing for Michigan Lutheran, Reese was All District, All Region, and Honorable Mention All State.  Not only is she an incredible player, but she is also an academic leader.  Reese is exactly the type of student-athlete who we want to help us continue to build a strong team, a winning record, and a championship level program on the court, in the classroom, and in the community.  Reese is also currently playing club volleyball at Southwest where she will continue to prepare for her first collegiate season."  

Michigan Lutheran High School Varsity Volleyball Coach, Terri Elder, added, "Reese has been a staple for our volleyball program for the past four years.  She is a strong leader with the desire to improve and never give up.  Volleyball is her passion, and she will be a great asset to SMC's program.  She will bring determination and a strong work ethic to the team.  She is ready to play at the next level and I am excited to see where she goes from here!"

Maas joins Kallie Solloway of Brandywine, Zyon Brazo of Niles, Talan Hiemstra of Marcellus and Gia Jania of Westville, Indiana as the fifth member of the 2024 SMC Volleyball recruiting class.

SMC Volleyball finished its second season after a 25-year hiatus with a record of 23-13. In 2023, the Roadrunners improved to 7-5 in the MCCAA Western Conference, placing third and again qualifying for the Great Lakes District Tournament. Individual players earned eight conference and regional awards, including All-Freshman Team, All-Conference Second Team, All-Conference First Team, All-Region Team and Player of the Year.
