Ali Line: Redefining the “Student” in Student-Athlete

NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State volleyball's Ali Line has done her part to exemplify what it takes to be a Redbird student-athlete over the past three years. The Bargersville, Indiana, native came to Illinois State in the fall of 2015 to begin her collegiate academic and athletic career, as she is now entering her final season on the Redbirds' volleyball team.

"I chose Illinois State for many reasons," Line shared. "It isn't too far from home, and I love the campus and the size of the university. I think the part that drew me in the most was the family culture of the volleyball team and the willingness of the coaching staff and nursing program to work with me and allow me to do both.
