Former Nebraska volleyball player Merritt Beason made her feelings known about transitioning to the Atlanta Vibe
The former Nebraska volleyball player Merritt Beason turned pro after the 2024 NCAA season, and her first game for the Vibes was against the Supernovas. In the post-match interview, she made her feelings known about transitioning to the new team, stating that it was very easy for her to adjust in the new team as the coaching staff and teammates made her feel familiar.
"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.”'
Ex-Nebraska volleyball player, Merritt Beason will next be seen playing for her team on April 26 at the Grand Rapids Rise for Family and Unity Night.
