May 04, 2022 | Women's Volleyball
MUNCIE, Ind. - - Ball State women's volleyball is excited to welcome a pair of graduate transfers into the program as Julianna Cramer and Addie Halverson are set to join the team for the 2022 fall season according to head coach Kelli Miller Phillips.
Cramer joins the Cardinals after playing the last four seasons at Arkansas State where she helped guide the Red Wolves to a 59-51 record over her career. Halverson spent five seasons at Jacksonville State, seeing time on the court in three. This past season, Halverson helped guide the Gamecocks to a 25-7 record and the championship match of the ASUN Tournament.
"We are thrilled with our two new additions to the program," Phillips said. "Julianna is a competitor who will add fire, a high volleyball IQ, and can distribute the ball to her hitters as good as anyone. Her passion for volleyball and experience will make her a great addition to our team this fall. Addie plays hard and will do whatever it takes to help her team win matches. She's a dynamic attacker that can hit all the shots and will be a force for us at the net!"
The duo joins Paige Busick, Madison Buckley, Katie Egenolf, and Aniya Kennedy who were announced during the signing period in November.
