SAN GIOVANNI IN MARIGNANO, Italy — After starring for four years on Middle Tennessee's volleyball team, Dora Peonia headed home this summer to fulfill her dream.
While wrapping up her marketing degree at MT, Peonia started the process to become a professional player. She signed with an agent, and offers began pouring in, including one from Omag Consolini Volley, a team in Italy's Serie A2 league located in San Giovanni in Marignano in northeastern Italy.
"I was very thrilled. It was like a dream come true … since I started when I was 10, I have always waited for this moment," she said.
