Minnesota is a hotbed for high school volleyball talent, and every year, athletes are recruited to play at some of the country’s most successful college programs, including the Gophers.

This year, a college program with a faint reputation within the state’s strong volleyball scene — though led by a recognizable coach — has entered the sweepstakes for Minnesota talent. So far, the school has won four prizes: Prior Lake’s Elli Tufto, Northfield’s Teagan Jaynes, Sauk Rapids-Rice’s Lauren Schloe and Cambridge-Isanti’s Alice Steman.

This volleyball season, all four committed to play for Montana State. And when they arrive in Bozeman, another Minnesota connection awaits: former Gophers coaches and married couple Matt and Jen Houk.
