CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati volleyball head coach Danijela Tomić announced the signing of Tatjana "Tasha" Simeunovic on Wednesday.
Simeunovic is a 6-foot-3 middle blocker from Čačak, Serbia.
"We are beyond excited to welcome Tatjana to UC and our volleyball program," Tomić said. "She is a talented young player who will add size and depth to our middle blocker position. Beyond her physical ability, Tatjana's character and love for the game align perfectly with our team culture. Joining a new team in a new country takes tremendous courage, and we're happy she's chosen to take this next step with us. Tatjana has a bright future ahead, and we can't wait to support her every step of the way."
She helped lead her club Borac to a Second Serbian League title and promotion to the First Serbian League. She also gained valuable experience competing for Sloboda in Čačak.
Simeunovic joins Cincinnati's incoming class that includes freshmen Izzy Busignani (mid-year enrollee), Fallyn Blotzer, Elliott Mickelberry and Ava Ledebuhr, as well as transfers Andi Spies (Middle Tennessee), McKenzie Johnson (Louisiana Tech) and Brooke Crummel (Liberty).
