Our Story

Northern State University sponsors 15 intercollegiate sports and belongs to the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC).
"Words cannot express the appreciation we have for Northern State University and the volleyball program specifically. Northern allowed Ashley to stay home and excel in both the classroom and on the volleyball court. There are many positive aspects about Northern. One that stands out to me is the level of commitment shown by Ashley's coaches and professors. Coach Aldridge's commitment started with Ashley when she was a freshman in high school and never waivered during her time at Northern. He has been her biggest critic and supporter at the same time. He had her set goals and stood beside her as they developed her skill set so she was able to attain them.
Ashley's professors have also shown commitment beyond her years in the classroom. After graduating, she has been reached out to about potential job opportunities because her professors have referred her. They were also committed to working with her to maintain her goals in the classroom when travel for games sometimes interfered.
It was with these people's commitment; Ashley was able to exceed the goals she set on the court and in the classroom. We are forever grateful! Once a Wolf, always a Wolf! (Even for us parents!)"
- Paul Rozell, Father of Ashley Rozell, Former NSU Volleyball Student-Athlete
