Herrmann said she decided just last month to commit to SDSU, where she plans to pursue a career in education.

Her commitment to go to Brookings is just verbal. She’ll wait until after her final season of high school volleyball to formally sign a letter of intent to play for the NCAA Div. I Jackrabbits.

“Probably the biggest thing that made the decision for me was the coach (Nana Allison-Brewer) and her philosophies and her mission. I just agreed with everything she said,” said Herrmann. “It felt like I had a connection.”

Herrmann is looking forward to playing at the D-I level.

“I think I’m up for the challenge and ready to rise to the occasion,” said Herrmann. “I’m excited to work hard and pursue it.

“It’s been a dream of mine since I was little kid,” she said.

Herrmann is also glad to have the decision about her future behind her.

“I went through the stress of it all last year,” she said. “Now I get to relax.”

“We all get to relax,” joked Raider coach Josh Lien.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
