Volleydons Sign Setter

Fort Wayne, IN- With the departure of starting setter Dennis Santiago, the IPFW men’s volleyball needed to fill that hole. They believe they have in a BIG way.

Head Coach Arnie Ball has announced that 6’6” Steve Rogers has signed a letter of intent to join the Mastodons program.

Rogers, (Windsor, Ontario, Canada) is a graduate of Vincent Massey High School. He is a three-year starter who was named to the WECSSAA first-team this past season.

The 6’6” Rogers is nearly four inches taller than Santiago, who skipped his senior season to play professionally in Puerto Rico.

“It will be great to have an opportunity to work with a tall setter once again,” said coach Ball. “Steve brings to us an opportunity to continue our tradition of big setters,” he added. That tradition includes “All-World” and USA Olympic setter Lloy Ball who was 6’9”. “Steve’s work ethic and determination will be a big factor in our success next season.”

Rogers intends to study biology/chemistry.
