Word on the street is she might be heading here. Originally from Clear Lake area. Could probably be an outside hitter for us even at 5'7". She is an amazing jumper and has a good though sometimes inconsistent jump serve.

Anybody else heard anything about this?

Yes, I believe she is headed to the Aggies. Even at her height she'd be a really good OH for you. This is just a case of the Nebraska roster crowding out an outstanding player. Lara Dykstra has been playing at a very high level so I think Megan saw the writing on the wall. I'm sorry to see her leave, but it's totally understandable and I wish her the best.

She does have a great serve, as you mentioned though she has not found any consistency with it (yet).

Saw her play as a senior in high school. Was very impressed with her then, but figured she'd have to turn into a DS/libero at Nebraska. Our volleyball team needs anything it can get right now.

She will be a welcome addition to the roster. However I'm not sure she has a great chance to play Libero or DS assuming Mellinger and Sarah Grace are still around. Our weakness last year was offense and she might be a viable option to play OH2 instead of Ringel if Ringel remains to tentative and unwilling to swing in games. At the very least she should push the other girls in practice. Although it would be strange to see such a short outside hitter, Pendergast certainly has the athleticism to at least be looked at for a spot as a hitter.
