The University of Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagle volleyball program has announced the signing of Adrienne Venditto of Grand Rapids.
The Golden Eagles lost just one senior in Bailey Schaefer from the 2024 roster. Heading into his fourth season at the helm, Nick Meseck is excited about the signing of Venditto and what she can bring to an already solid roster. “We are very excited to add Adrienne Venditto to our Golden Eagle family! She gives us depth at a few positions. Adrienne has a great platform, a whippy arm, and a great personality on and off the court.”

The Grand Rapids High School standout was named to the Lake Superior All-Conference first-team as a senior. She was also named to the 2024 Big Dog All-Star team. Led the Thunderhawks to the 2022 and 2023 Minnesota State tournament and was a captain as a senior in 2024.
She is also a standout on the diamond. Venditto was named to the All-Section team as a junior and a second team All-Conference performer and was named the 2024 Offensive Player of the Year. All accolades came in her junior year.
Her mom, Alicia, was a setter at Minnesota North College (formerly Itasca Community College).
