Cassidy Rammel was a key player for the Tribe during her time in Fort Recovery.
She’s proven herself to play a vital role at the next level.
Rammel, a 2015 Fort Recovery High School graduate, notched one kill and three digs Wednesday for the University of Saint Francis volleyball team in a four-set loss to Bethel College.
The Cougars (8-16, 4-8 Crossroads League) dropped the match 18-25, 25-21, 25-19, 25-22.
Rammel totaled nine kills, eight digs, two blocks and an assist Saturday as the Cougars split two matches against IU East and Midway (Kentucky) at IU East. On Friday, she also tallied eight kills, 13 digs and an ace as the Cougars fell to both University of Windsor and NAIA No. 22 Madonna in Livonia, Michigan.
The freshman has seen action in 23 of the Cougars’ 24 matches this season.
