On Monday, December 4th, Natalie Jeanneret will be signing here letter of intent to play volleyball at Ottawa University for the 2024 season. Natalie wrapped up her volleyball career at Onaga in October as one of the best liberos the school has seen. She finished this season with 339 digs, which was the most on the team by more than 100. Her skills as a libero earned her 2nd Team All-League honors as a junior in 2022, an incredible accomplishment considering she was the only libero to receive league honors in the entire TVL. She also was one of the best servers on the team this pas season, as her 95.2 serve percentage was second on the team by a tenth of a percent. Her 1.72 serve rating for the year was also second on the team, just behind the team leading 1.74. Natalie now sets her sights on her post-secondary career and plans to do that at Ottawa. On Monday she is signing a letter of intent with the Braves where she will be on scholarship as a libero defensive specialist. Ottawa is coming off of a 22-12 season and finished tied for 4th in the 14-team KCAC conference. We invite the school and community to join us in the commons area for the 1:45pm signing day event and celebrate Natalie's accomplishment!
