FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota State University head
volleyball coach Kari Thompson announced on Tuesday, May 6, that McKenzie Burke
and Dallas Goettle have been admitted to NDSU and will join the volleyball team
in the fall for the 2014 season.
Burke, an outside hitter from Osceola, Wis., and Goettle,
a libero from Casselton, N.D., join Jessica Jorgensen, Brianna Rasmusson and
Mikaela Purnell in the five-woman 2014 recruiting class for NDSU.
Burke, a 6-foot outside hitter from Osceola (Wis.) HS,
was a first-team All-Middle Border Conference performer in her junior and
senior seasons as Osceola won conference titles both years. A three-year starter
and two-year captain, Burke led Osceola to a regional championship and a
runner-up finish at sectionals in 2013. She was also a four-year starter in
softball and a three-year starter in basketball, earning second-team
all-conference honors in both sports.
Goettle, a 5-6 libero from Central Cass (N.D.) HS, ranks
second on the Squirrels’ leaderboard for career digs. She was an all-conference
and all-district nominee as a senior in 2013, and a member of the Class B state
championship team in 2011. Goettle was named the top defensive player on her
club team in 2013. She also played basketball and softball for Central Cass HS,
winning a state softball title in 2013 and finishing as the state runner-up in
both of those sports during her career.
NDSU finished fifth in The Summit League in 2013 and
returns nine players with starting experience this fall.
