Merritt Beason opened up about her transition to the Atlanta Vibe

Merritt Beason concluded her 2024 season after competing at the NCAA Volleyball Championships. She and her team, Nebraska, lost to Penn State in the semifinals of the tournament on December 19, and shortly after this exit, the 21-year-old turned pro and started playing for the Atlanta Vibe. She made her pro debut in a match against the Omaha Supernovas.

In the post-game interview, the volleyball player opened up about her transition to the new team from the Nebraska Cornhuskers. She said that it was easy for her as the coaching staff and her teammates made her feel very familiar. She said:

“Yeah, it was a quick one for sure. I've said before having Kayla [Banwarth, head coach] really made the transition really easy. Just a lot of things are very similar to how things are structured and a few drills are the same too. So, it was pretty easy for me to go in."

She added:

“It was familiar for me and that was really nice and then the girls and the staff and everyone just welcomed all of us rookies with open arms and I think that's what really made it an easy transition. Just everyone kind of held our hand and walked us through what we needed to do that first week. Like, I said just welcomed us with open arms and I think that's really what made the transition really easy.”

Merritt Beason will next be seen competing against the Omaha Supernovas on February 9 in the Pro Volleyball Federation, Women.
