NPCC Volleyball’s Ramsey signs with College of Saint Mary

North Platte Community College volleyball player Morgan Ramsey will move on to the College of Saint Mary in Omaha. Ramsey signed a letter of intent to play for the Flames during the 2023-24 season. 

"I chose College of St. Mary because it is a school that has a great athletic program," said Ramsey. "They are always competing at a high level. They are also a school that allows athletes to be enrolled in their nursing program, which is very rare to be able to do both." 

The 6-foot, 1-inch outside hitter from Bartlett was one of three Knights volleyball players to be named to the National Junior College Athletic Association All-Region IX Team last fall. 

Ramsey finished the season first in the region with 3.44 kills per set and second in the region for total kills with 396. 

She has been on the President's List at NPCC since arriving on campus, and her 4.0 GPA also landed her a spot on the NJCAA's 2021-22 All Academic First Team list. Additionally, her efforts in the classroom helped the Knights, as a whole, make the NJCAA's list for Volleyball Academic Team of the Year. 

"I am really proud of Morgan and excited that she found a place to continue her volleyball career," said Alexa McCall, NPCC head volleyball coach. "Morgan has been a competitor since she stepped foot in our gym, and I know that she has qualities that are going to make her successful at CSM and in her life. She has grown so much in her time here and shown great leadership skills and hard work. I can't wait to see the things she accomplishes." 

Ramsey said she has had a wonderful experience at NPCC. She will take those memories with her as she embarks on her new journey in the eastern end of the state. 

"Here at NPCC, I have enjoyed how everyone goes above and beyond for you, both as a student and as an athlete," Ramsey said. "The academics are some of the best you will get, and the instructors are always there for help. For the athletic side, we have an awesome coaching staff that just wants you to succeed and be a good person both on and off the court. Our coaches strive to make us into respectful women. We also have a wonderful weights program and that makes all the difference when trying to improve physical skills. I can't say thank you enough to our athletic trainer and physical therapists who make sure I am taking care of my body and for keeping me on the court."
