Ranger of the Week: Reese Rossnagel

Two-time award winner breaks the Parkside single-game record for kills

By PARKSIDE ATHLETICS

The University of Wisconsin-Parkside Athletics Department is committed to a balanced student-athlete experience that develops future leaders and active community members. As the only NCAA Division II member in the state of Wisconsin, we strive to live the “Life in the Balance” philosophy by promoting academic excellence, athletic success, and community engagement to ensure personal growth and development.

The Parkside volleyball team competed at the Midwest Region Crossover Tournament last weekend in Hammond, Ind. The Rangers went 1-2 in the tournament, but came away with something to celebrate. The Parkside single-game kills record was broken by Reese Rossnagel, our Kenosha.com Ranger of the Week.

Rossnagel tallied a record-breaking 31 kills in the Rangers’ win over McKendree in their tournament opener. That broke the previous record of 26 kills in 2013. Rossnagel came back on Saturday and collected another 23 kills against Ohio Dominican, enough to tie for 10th place on the Parkside all-time list for kills in a single game.
