The bond Rachel Klitzing and Natalie Ravenell created began on the volleyball court in high school. It continued during their 6 a.m. summer practices, but became strongest after they won a national championship with their club team last summer.
The Munciana Samurai 18 club alumni now play key roles for the Butler University volleyball team as freshmen. Klitzing and Ravenell have started all 12 games this season.
