Senior Melinda DiGiovanna recently accepted an opportunity to continue her playing career while pursuing a Master’s Degree at Durham University in Durham City, England.  Durham University competes in the British Universities and College Sport league.  Their rules allow any student to compete in athletics.

Melinda joins 6 other ladies from the U.S. out of a group of 50, representing New York, California, Texas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Arizona, and the Carolinas from Division I & II volleyball programs.  Melinda was the only Division III player selected.

Melinda will get her Masters in Education.   Durham University is the 5th best University in the UK out of 116 and in the World Top 100 Schools.

I am very proud of her and wish her all the best in this exciting opportunity.  Maybe she’ll let us visit sometime!
