PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State women’s volleyball Head Coach Jen Greeny and Associate Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Burdette Greeny officially announced last week the signing of transfer opposite hitter, Magdalena Juric, from CSU Northridge. Juric, a transfer from CSU Northridge, represents the final addition to the Cougars 2023 roster as WSU aims for an unprecedented, eighth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament later this fall.
Juric, a 6-4 right side from Zadar, Croatia, was a 2022 Big West All-Academic selection and signed with CSU Northridge after qualifying for the 2018 US Junior Nationals with the Mavericks Volleyball Club in California in which she led her team to a third-place finish. Juric played prep volleyball for Carnegie Schools in Riverside, Calif., and was a member of the 2017 U17 European Global Challenge while playing for her native Croatia.
