BERKELEY, Calif. -- California volleyball player Savannah Rennie has received a liver transplant that she hopes will have her back on the court next season.

After a 2½-month wait in Indiana, Rennie posted Wednesday on Twitter that her surgery at Indiana University was a success.

Rennie, 19, received a congratulatory shoutout from USA Volleyball and others who have been following her plight.

Last summer, before her freshman year in Berkeley, Rennie experienced unbearable headaches and high fevers, nausea and loss of appetite, soreness and then pain in her abdomen.
