Dawgs Welcome Senior Transfer Litzau
May 19, 2023 | Volleyball
SEATTLE โ Husky Volleyball has landed a veteran floor captain as Wichita State setter Kayce Litzau has committed to Washington for the 2023-24 school year. Litzau has over three-thousand career assists and was voted to the 2021 AAC All-Conference Team.
ย
Litzau is the second new Dawg to come through the transfer portal this offseason, joining former Michigan MB/OH May Pertofsky.
ย
Washington Head Coach Leslie Gabriel says the Huskies are getting a consistent and proven setter at the DI level.
ย
"It was in my first conversation with Kayce that I knew she could be a good fit for our program and when she came out on her visit she confirmed it," said Gabriel. "It was her maturity, team-first attitude, and quiet competitiveness that attracted me to her. We are excited she is a Husky and can't wait to get going with her in the gym this fall."
ย
Last season with the Shockers, Litzau started all 31 matches and appeared in all 121 sets, ranking 33rd nationally and second in the AAC with 1,209 assists. WSU was 18-13 overall and 13-6 in conference play, competing in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship.
ย
In 2021, Litzau helped the Shockers to a 19-10 record, earning Second Team All-AAC after leading the conference with 10.18 assists per set. She also has compiled 797 career digs, 113 career blocks, 157 career kills, and 74 career aces.
ย
"I chose the University of Washington Volleyball program because I felt welcomed and at home immediately with Tui, Mike, Manolo, and the team," says Litzau. "I loved seeing how much everyone cared for each other and the program. I am so excited to be on campus and in Seattle. I couldn't be happier to be a part of this incredible program and compete in a Husky uniform!"
