Izzy Overseas: Temple Volleyball’s Rapacz Makes Her Mark as a European Professional

Season one as a professional volleyball player is in the books for Owls' alum, Izabella "Izzy" Rapacz. The right side hitter recently wrapped up her rookie campaign with Enea Energetyk Poznan in the top Polish professional league.

Rapacz's rise to the professional ranks started from day one at Temple, but it wasn't easy. As a freshman, she played in just 39 sets in 16 matches during her first collegiate season with 66 total kills. However, even then, Rapacz knew she wanted to play professionally. So, she put in the work during the offseason and made huge strides, firming up her path to professional volleyball.
