Friesen Commits to Tiffin University in Ohio

Brooke Friesen, a 6' sophomore outside hitter from Davison, MI, has committed to play for the Dragons of Tiffin University in Tiffin, OH. Friesen joins a team coming off a 7-21 season under the direction of second year head coach Dana Cordova.

The Dragons are getting a quality person, student, and athlete according to Mustang head coach Rick Reynolds. "Brooke has been great for our program. From day one she has given us her best in everything and her passion to compete and leadership will be missed. She played a great role for our team on and off the court and was always ready for the next challenge. Tiffin will be happy they have added Brooke to their gym as she will bring a strong work ethic, leadership, willingness to be coached, and an understanding of what it takes to be successful."

Friesen played the last two seasons for the Mustangs and helped guide them to a second place finish at the 2011 NJCAA National Championship in West Plains, MO. For her career, she hit .202, averaged 2.3 kills per set, and 1.36 digs.

Friesen stated, "I loved everything about Western Wyoming. The entire school, the people, the involvement of faculty, staff, and students, our crowds and support were amazing."

She is looking forward to going to Tiffin. "Tiffin is close to home and it felt a like a positive place to continue my career. I really enjoyed the team, the small town atmosphere, and the family feeling within the team and school."

Friesen said she learned a lot as a Mustang. "I learned it does not matter what role you play, you are still a part of the team. How hard you work when no one is looking is what can take you places and always value the little things. You can achieve your wildest dreams and biggest goals if you attack them with the right attitude, great communication, and a lot of effort."
