MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee's volleyball roster has a bit of a European flair to it as the Blue Raiders open the 2019 season.
A quarter of MT's student-athletes hail from across the Atlantic, coming from Italy, Germany, Lithuania and Denmark.
Included in third-year head coach Chuck Crawford's six-player recruiting class are two standout Europeans: Danish freshman Amalie Jorgensen and Lithuanian junior transfer Urte Neimantaite. They join two returners — Italian senior Dora Peonia and German sophomore Samira Lawson Body — to make up a four-player European contingent that Crawford is giddy about.
