Kentucky volleyball’s key player on the move

This year, Kentucky volleyball is sending shocking waves throughout the collegiate volleyball. To announce the recent transfer portal addition, an insider Talia Goodman took to her X to write, “Kentucky volleyball middle blocker Elise Goetzinger has entered the transfer portal, per source.”

While revealing the news, Goodman also penned, Goetzinger averaged 2.6 kills per set this season, and the Wildcats made it to the Sweet Sixteen.” In addition to this, she played a vital role in taking Kentucky volleyball to the Sweet Sixteen at the NCAA Volleyball Tournament 2023. Elise managed to clinch 10 points in the match against Baylor at NCAA.

Notably, Reagan was also a part of Wildcat’s historic achievement in 2020, when the team clinched a national championship trophy for the first time. Unfortunately, the remarkable gameplay of both Elise and Reagan will not be witnessed in Kentucky’s upcoming matches, as the players will soon find another team to display their potential.
