Time is now for Warren

VB: Right-side hitter is excelling after two years in the program

In an era of collegiate sports where the lack of immediate gratification is often a one-way road to the transfer portal, Sam Warren is something of a throwback.

The Valparaiso right-side hitter arrived on campus in the fall of 2021 and spent the entire season on the sidelines. She didn’t quit.

Warren played sparingly at times last year, but she lacked a consistent role. Still, she kept showing up.

Now in her third year in the program, Warren has been the breakout player of the first week of the season. After two years of waiting her turn, Warren is finally experiencing the fruits of her labor.
