  "account": "Una Vajagic, an ex-Wisconsin outside hitter, is making a transition back to her home state for a new chapter with Arizona State. The move, which came as a surprise offseason decision, has Vajagic reflecting on the memories she built during her time with the Badgers at Fiserv Forum. The transition was a tough one, with UW coach Kelly Sheffield expressing frustration that Vajagic seemed content at Wisconsin but left for better opportunities elsewhere. Despite the change, Vajagic's new teammates at Arizona State, including middle blocker Ella Lomigora, are impressed by her competitive spirit and positive impact on their team. This move comes as Arizona State begins a second half of their Aug. 22 doubleheader, facing off against Louisville. Vajagic's arrival is a welcome addition to the team, which ranked No. 12 in the 2026 AVCA preseason poll after a 28-4 2025 season. Vajagic's transition is a testament to the dynamic nature of college volleyball, with players and teams constantly evolving and adapting.",
