#ThrowbackThursday | The upcoming fall of 2016 will mark the 10th season of Miner Volleyball. The very first season took place in the fall of 2007, back when the institution was known as the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR). The roster in Season 1 was made up of 17 total players… 13 true freshmen & four players found on campus the spring prior, and they represented eight different states (Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Louisiana, Indiana, Colorado, Arkansas & Iowa). They set the groundwork for the program for the next nine years. #MinerVB would not be where it is today with out the following players, so THANK YOU… • Front row (l to r):
Stephanie Frizzo (Harman) | Bridget Watt (Williams) | Jessica O’Donnell (Laughary) | Leandra Pelae | Annie Smith
• Second row (l to r):
Kit Spears | Ashlyn Balensiefer
• Third row (l to r):
Lisa Bradley | Maddie Gronewold (Owak) | Lisa Lombardo (Robinson) | Tory Holderby (Smiley) | Lauren Summerville | Lynsey Grinde (Jorgenson)
• Top row (l to r):
Samantha Klump | Kaci Crooks (Herron) | Hope Martin (Mooberry) | Katie Herington 
Also a huge THANK YOU to the first assistant coaches Heather Hammerschmidt (Roberts) & Kris Conley! Here’s to the next 10 years of MINER VOLLEYBALL!! #TBT #GoMiners #UMR #UniversityofMissouriRolla #inauguralseason #firstteam #alumni #formerplayers #10years
