The Battle Lake volleyball team lost six seniors to graduation, including two-time All-Conference player Kate Christensen, honorable mention All-Conference player Leah Koltes, Kya Ambuehl, Hannah Cory, Dani Anderson and Laiken Bladow.  Head Coach Jennifer Roisum, now in her 18th season will rely heavily on her six returning letter winners as the Battlers enter the 2021 season.

The returning seniors are Grace Van Erp (Setter/Hitter), Adysen Tysdal (Hitter), Eleanor Gibbs (Hitter), Kaylor Brandner (Defensive Specialist) and Kaitlyn Brandner (Defensive Specialist).  Junior Morgan Malone (Hitter) is the other letter winner coming back from last season.

Rounding out the varsity squad will be senior Maddison Ness, juniors Quin Amundson and Anna Bellig, and eighth-graders Sophie Akerman and Kenedy Cameron.

“We only have six returning players with two starters back from the 2020 season,” noted Coach Roisum.  “We have experience in our returners, but there will be opportunities for players in many positions.  This should be a fun season for the Battlers with so many open spots for players to work towards.  The Battlers are excited to improve with each match and challenge the teams of the Little 8 Conference.  With the craziness of last year, I just hope everyone is off to a great start to the season.”

Roisum will be assisted by Heather Akerman.
