New Bremen senior Mary Rindler, seated center, will attend Morehead State University and play volleyball for the Eagles next season.
NEW BREMEN - New Bremen's Mary Rindler announced that she will be continuing her volleyball career at Morehead State and will play for the Eagles.
Rindler will be majoring in an undecided science. She led the Cardinals in kills with 357 and added 82 blocks, also a team lead. She was named to the All-Midwest Athletic Conference first team.
"I would like to thank my coaches, parents and my grandparents for supporting me and my teammates for helping me gain this opportunity," Rindler said.
Rindler was a key player in New Bremen's state semifinal run and was second on the team with 14 kills and eight digs in the semi-final match against Newark Catholic, the eventual state champions.
"New Bremen's been a great home for us here," Ryan Osterfeld, Mary's father said. "Morehead felt like a small town with a big campus. The whole town just felt like a nice small town, like around here."
She will join a Morehead State program that is currently 19-8 overall and 13-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference this season. The Eagles are coached by third-year head coach Kyrsten Becker-McBride, who has helped produce 18 All-OVC players and two OVC Players of the Year in her time as both an assistant and head coach.
The Eagles won their first ever postseason game in 2021, when they took down Creighton while Becker-McBride was an assistant. Rindler will hope her setting will aid the Eagles throughout her time in Kentucky.
