2025 Season Outlook
The Yellow Jackets are coming off their fifth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024, which tied the program record for consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. Tech is one of only 12 programs across Division I to have won a match in each of the last five tournaments after defeating Tennessee 3-2 last season.
Tech returns five of nine players from last year’s main rotation, including Liv Mogridge (MB), DeAndra Pierce (MB), Larissa Mendes (RS), Heloise Soares (S), and Sofia Velez (DS/L) as well as senior Anna Boezi (MB). Head coach Michelle Collier added 12 newcomers to the roster thanks to a pair of transfers, red-shirt junior outside hitter Ital Lopuyo (Texas A&M) and junior outside hitter Bianca Garibaldi (Pittsburgh), along with 10 incoming freshmen: Noemi Despaigne (OH), Anna Fiedorowicz (OH), Anika Groom (OH), Abi Li (S), Lameen Mambu (OH), Gabi Robinska (OH), Danielle Tansey (DS/L), Bjanka Stojanovic (RS), Laura Bieleski (OH), and Sara Toth (S).
In typical GT volleyball fashion, the 2025 roster contains a strong international component. 10 of the 18 players on the roster come from outside the United States: Mendes (Fortaleza, Brazil), Soares (Joinville, Brazil) and Velez (Tulua, Colombia), Despaigne (Ivera, Italy), Fiedorowicz (Olsztyn, Poland), Garibaldi (Villa Carlos Paz, Argentina), Robinska (Warsaw Poland), Stojanovic (Subotica, Serbia), Bieleski (Arapongas, Brazil), and Toth (Budapest, Hungary). The Jackets return all three coaches from last season, all from Brazil.
Collier enters her 12th season on The Flats with a 218-117 record. Her 12th season leading the Jackets will mark the longest tenured head volleyball coach in Tech history. During the 2024 season she became the second coach in GT volleyball history to reach 200 wins, along with AVCA Hall of Famer, Shelton Collier (271 wins from 1991-2001). She enters 2025 with the most ACC wins (123), the most NCAA Tournament wins (8) in program history, and stands as the first coach to lead the Jackets into five-straight NCAA Tournaments. Her 12th season leading the Jackets will mark the longest tenured head volleyball coach in Tech history.
