INDIANAPOLIS -- The IUPUI Athletics Department and Head Volleyball Coach Steve Payne have announced that the Kaley Huffman (Brazil, Ind./Northview) and Cassidy Lambring (Brownstown, Ind./Brownstown Central) will both attend IUPUI with the purpose of walking on to the Jaguars’ volleyball squad in 2008.

Huffman helped Northview High School go 31-4 in her senior year, filling both offensive and defensive roles with the Knights. The 5-foot-6 team captain finished tied for 35th in the state of Indiana with 3.5 kills per game while also leading the team in digs. For the third straight season, Huffman was named First Team All-Western Indiana Conference.

A member of the Crossroads of America Volleyball Club, Huffman will primarily focus on the back row at IUPUI. "Kaley will help add depth and solidify our back row," Payne said. "On the defensive end of the court, her ball control skills will play a vital role."

Lambring brings two years of collegiate experience to IUPUI, having played at Vincennes [Ind.] University in the 2006 and 2007 seasons. In 2006, Lambring appeared in 124 games, tallying 3.5 kills per game and recording a .307 kill percentage.

In 2007, Lambring was named to the All-Region XII Volleyball Team, while helping Vincennes reach the consolation final of the National Junior College Athletic Association District F Volleyball Tournament. In addition, Lambring was selected to the All-Tournament Team. Lambring was a member of Vincennes’ 2006 District F championship squad, as well.

The 5-foot-10 Lambring helped Brownstown Central to the IHSAA 2A State Finals in 2005 and was named First Team All-State in 2A by the ICGSA.

"Cassidy brings an important outside presence along with solid play on the outside," Payne said. "We will be looking to her to contribute immediately and be a difference-maker on both sides of the net."

The duo joins Shari Bernhardt (Plainfield, Ind./Plainfield), Emily Reich (Evansville, Ind./North Posey) and Kalyse Reimbold (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) in IUPUI’s recruiting class of 2008.
