Sophomore backup outside hitter Sami Slaughter will transfer from the Nebraska volleyball team and continue her career at the University of South Dakota, the South Dakota volleyball program announced on Wednesday morning.
Slaughter, the 2016 South Dakota Gatorade Player of the Year after leading Harrisburg High School to a state title, will be joining the Coyotes after spending her first two college seasons at Nebraska.
The 6-foot-1 Slaughter, who will enroll this spring, will have two seasons of eligibility remaining and is joining a Coyotes team fresh off the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance at the NCAA Division I level.
