MUNCIE, Ind. - Former Ball State men's volleyball alumnus and standout setter, Quinn Isaacson (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield North) has earned a spot on the United State Men's Volleyball Team 2024 Volleyball Nations League (VNL) roster.
"It's an honor representing the USA senior men's national team in any capacity, let alone an Olympic summer," Isaacson said. "Getting to compete and train at the highest level possible is the biggest goal for many athletes, and this opportunity has given me just that. I'm super excited for what's in store this summer."
VNL is the world's premier annual international indoor volleyball tournament. The top 16 teams in the world play four matches a week for three weeks of preliminary competition. The top eight teams at the end of the preliminaries will go to the Final Round on June 27-30 in Lódz, Poland.
Coaches will select 14 athletes from the long-list roster to compete at the United States' VNL stops in Antalya, Türkiye (May 22-26), Ottawa, Canada (June 4-8) and Manila, Philippines (June 19-23).
Since graduating from Ball State, Isaacson has been playing professionally overseas and is currently competing for the club Exact Systems Hemarpoll Czestochowa (Poland). Isaacson recently helped his team win the French championship for the first time in the club's history.
Isaacson was a First Team NVA/AVCA All-American as a senior at Ball State along with being named to the All-Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association First Team and All-MIVA Tournament squad. Isaacson helped the Cardinals to a historic season in 2022 which included a 23-4 overall record along with a MIVA regular and tournament championship. Ball State also went to the 2022 NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship semifinals with Isaacson as the Cardinals' starting setter.
