Ball State Sports: Former Volleyball Coach Gets New Job

Congratulations are in order for Heidi Zickgraf, who was an assistant under Randy Litchfield before all parties were let go on that terrible December day.

Zickgraf was named the Delta volleyball coach this past week at her alma mater. The Eagles have Penn State recruit Darcy Dorton coming back, so a state championship isn't out of the realm.

Funny story about her: I was doing a story on volleyball recruiting, and Zickgraf and the rest of the staff said they wouldn't recruit anyone under 5-foot-8. Well, Zickgraf is about 5-foot-3 and played collegiately at the University of Illinois.

So I asked her, Isn't that a little weird on your part, considering a Big Ten school recruited you? And not only that, she played significant minutes. Her response: "Yeah, probably." Cool.

And if you wonder where I stand on the Munciana/Ball State debate: I'm with Litchfield...if the program recruited strictly from Munciana, it wouldn't be very good. (The Star Press and BSU Daily News)

I probably should've included this with the baseball post, but three players, Wayne Bond, Jr., Kyle Heyne and Zach Dygert, received All-MAC honors. Bond and Heyne were First Team selections and Dygert was Second Team. (Ball State Sports)

Looks like Bryan Bullington is starting to get things turned around. (The Star Press)

One of Ball State's sports information directors, Brad Caudill, recently won an award. Congrats! (Ball State Sports)
