After committing to Wisconsin in August, DeKalb volleyball player Courtney Bemis took comfort in the fact that her school of choice was set, but the 6-foot-2 junior still didn’t know what position she would play down the road.

Throughout club volleyball and during her sophomore year for DeKalb, she had played mostly as a middle blocker. In 2012, coach Ben Fisher moved Bemis to outside hitter, where she flourished during DeKalb’s 29-9 season.

“I was impressed with the amount of progression she made in a position that she really hadn’t played a whole lot,” Fisher said. “For her to... be a six-rotation player, which she really wasn’t doing previously a whole lot, for her to be able to make those improvements and put herself in position to contribute I think is phenomenal.”
