Dakota State University has announced Samantha Zell as the next assistant coach for Volleyball. Zell is no stranger to the DSU volleyball team where she has been an athlete for the past four years. She helped the Lady T’s to a pair of back-to-back winning seasons, which included a trip to the North Star Athletic Association conference postseason’s championship match each year.

This past season, Zell was a key member of the Dakota State volleyball team that was ranked in the NAIA Volleyball’s Top 25 national poll and earned an at-large bid to the national tournament’s opening round for the first time in school history.
