Career Notes Entering 2024 Season:
• Played in 14 of a possible 32 matches over her Ball State career
• Has seen action in 21 of a possible 120 sets
2023 (Fr.): Earned first letter at Ball State ... played in 14 matches, making one start … saw action in 21 of a possible 120 sets … finished the season with 19 digs, including a career-high five digs versus LSU (Sept. 3) … credited with at least one dig in eight appearances … recorded a perfect reception percentage in five outings … had a career-high 14 receptions versus Dayton (Sept. 9), logging just one reception error for a .929 rate of success … served up two of her three aces versus LSU, while adding the other against Kent State (Oct. 27) … handed out an assist versus UNI (Sept. 2).
Phillips on Baker: Reese is such a fun player to watch. She flies all over the backcourt and throws her body all over to ensure the ball doesn't hit the ground on our side of the net. Her quickness, ability to read attackers, and relentlessness as a defender are going to be huge assets for us. I also love her attention to detail as a passer. She's so willing to learn and be coached and I can't wait to have her in the gym.
Career Highlights: A four-year letterwinner for coach Kati Weir, a four-year Ball State women's volleyball letterwinner herself, at Wapahani High School … captained the Raiders to a 32-5 record and the 2022 IHSAA Class 2A State Championship as a senior … led Wapahani to a 117-22 record over her career, including IHSAA State Championship runner-up finishes as a freshman and sophomore … earned all-state second team as a sophomore … a three-time all-conference and all-county selection … finished her career with 1,557 total digs, including a match-high 24 in the championship match of the 2022 IHSAA State Finals versus Linton-Stockton … also a four-year letterwinner in basketball and a one-year letterwinner in track at Wapahani … played nine years of club volleyball at Munciana … helped guide her 2017 team to a top 5 national ranking … 2019 national championship runner-up.
Why Ball State: I chose Ball State because of the family feel that I got from the coaches, players, and fans.
