The UAF Nanooks volleyball team is ready to hit the court for the 2024-25 season, with a roster that boasts a mix of experienced players and fresh faces. The Nanooks are coming off a 14-18 campaign in 2023, but they are looking to improve upon that record with a strong core of returning players, including Karli Nielson, who led the team in kills and sets played last season. Newcomers like Larissa Barreiros Scatamburlo, a JUCO transfer with college experience, and Ashlyn White, the younger sister of returning player Rilee White, are eager to contribute. The team is also welcoming back assistant coach Cate Atkins, who brings valuable experience and insights. The Nanooks will kick off their season at the Hawai’i-Alaska Challenge in Honolulu on August 29, where they will be looking to make a strong start to the new year.
