EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville head volleyball coach Zach Weinberg has announced the addition of Savannah Gogel to the Purple Aces program.
The native of Santa Claus, Ind. was a freshman last season at Northern Illinois University where she saw action in 40 sets while accumulating a total of 53 kills during the season.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Savannah back home to Southern Indiana! Savannah is uniquely familiar with Meeks Family Fieldhouse, having played on the same club team as our current team members Brooke, Kendall, and Hinsley,” Weinberg exclaimed. “She is a dynamic and physical middle blocker, who also can give us positional flexibility on the right side if needed. As a staff, we couldn’t be more excited to bring the quality of volleyball player and human being that Savannah is into the program!”
Gogel made her collegiate debut in August against Lamar and finished with three kills and two block assists. She posted her top effort in non-conference action against IU Indy where she tallied eight kills and four block assists.
On Halloween, Gogel had her top match of the season registering 13 kills while hitting .370. She added five block assists, two digs, and two service aces in a 5-set Mid-American Conference victory over Buffalo.
She graduated from Heritage Hills HS where she set the single-match school record for kills with 33. As a senior, Gogel accumulated 292 kills, a .314 hitting percentage, 35 aces, 150 digs, and 14 assists. She was a 4-time First Team All-Conference player while garnering All-District accolades on three occasions.
In the classroom, Gogel was equally impressive finishing in the top 10% of her class in all four years and was an Indiana Academic All-State Gold honoree.
