South Dakota State women's volleyball coach Nicole Cirillo announced the addition of four student-athletes on Wednesday. All four will enroll at SDSU for the 2020-21 academic year and will be eligible to play for the Jackrabbits next season.

"I'm really excited about this group of ladies! They are physical players that just want to get after it in the gym," said Cirillo. "They are skilled players that still have room to grow and really catapult our program forward."

Kate Nelson | 6-0 | Outside Hitter | Clive, Iowa | Waukee High School
Kate Nelson is a four-year letterwinner at Waukee High School. She is a 2019 all-conference first team and is competing in the state tournament with her team this weekend.

Â
Coach Cirillo on Nelson: "Kate is an athlete that the height of her potential is still yet to be seen. She has experience on either pin and has gained a more consistent role as a terminator throughout her past club and high school season and I look forward to her growth as a Jackrabbit."

Meghan Haan | 6-0 | Outside Hitter | La Coste, Texas | Medina Valley High School

Â
Coach Cirillo on Haan: "Meghan will come to us as utility player. She has been a middle most of her career but has just started learning both pin positions this past season. Her versatility as an attacker will surely be welcomed when stepping into our program."
