EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State head volleyball coach Kristen Kelsay announced the addition of Novi, Michigan native Sarah Vellucci on Tuesday afternoon. A libero, Vellucci joins the Spartans as a rising redshirt sophomore from Long Beach State.
One of just four players to appear in all 108 sets for Beach, Vellucci tallied 103 digs in her redshirt freshman season playing in a two libero system. Vellucci saw a majority of the work in serve receive for CSULB taking on a team-high 549 serves.
I’m thrilled to add Sarah and her family to the Spartan volleyball program. Sarah brings a wealth of experience. Her incredible work ethic, character and skill will make an immediate impact. Honored to bring a Michigan native back home!Head Coach Kristen Kelsay
I chose Michigan State because it’s home. Getting to play in front of and for the people that got me here is a dream come true. I believe in what Coach Kelsay wants to build here and I’m pumped to be a part of it. I can’t wait to get on campus and get to work in the Green & White!libero Sarah Vellucci
Vellucci was a four-year letterwinner at Novi High School and holds the all-time kills record at Novi with 1,189. She was the first player in Novi history to record more than 1,000 career kills and digs. A two-time All-State selection, Vellucci was named to the first team as a senior and the second team following her junior campaign. In 2022, Vellucci helped Legacy Volleyball Club capture the AAU 17 Open National Championship where she was named an All-American.
