UW Volleyball Player Taking Her Game To The Beach

An outside hitter with the University of Wisconsin volleyball program has decided to leave Madison and transfer to a school where she can play beach volleyball.  Six-foot-one Mariah Whalen just completed her freshman season.  She has struggled with a knee injury which wiped out her first season on campus and some of this year, too.  She will have two-and-a-half years of eligibility remaining at her new school.  Whalen’s sister Carissa is a professional beach volleyball player.
