Iowa State volleyball added Florida A&M transfer Candelaria Herrera, head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch announced on Thursday.
According to a release, Herrera will be eligible in the fall and will have three years of eligibility left.
“I am really excited about adding Candelaria to an already talented group,” Johnson-Lynch said in a release. “She has a tremendous amount of experience playing a couple of different positions, and it will be fun to experiment and see how she can most help our team.”
During her stint with Florida A&M, Herrera totaled .354 hitting percentage, while averaging 2.69 kills per set and a team-leading 0.89 blocks per set.
Herrera’s performance last season earned her MEAC Rookie of the Year and a spot on the All-MEAC First Team.
“Beyond her experience, she is an incredibly hard-working and determined young woman,” Johnson-Lynch said in a release. “I believe she will be a great addition for our program on and off the court.”
