Iowa Lakes Volleyball coach Mike Turnbull is excited to sign an ELC player. "We feel blessed that Dania has decided to attend Iowa Lakes and play volleyball for us. She fits right in with the types of kids we are trying to recruit to our program. She is a quality student-athlete and a genuinely nice person. It is always an extra bonus when area kids decide to come to school and play for us."

Dania completed her senior season at Estherville Lincoln Central with 2.23 Kills/S, 2.51 Digs/S, 42 Ace Serves, and 10 Blocks. She was also one of this years' Captains. Dania was also named 1st Team All Lakes Conference and named to the Academic All Lakes Conference Team. Outside of volleyball Dania has participated in tennis, track and basketball along with volunteering at the Emmet County Animal Shelter.  

Dania, plans to enroll in the Vet Tech program at Iowa Lakes CC this fall, said she chose to attend Iowa Lakes because, "I chose Iowa lakes because it is close to my family, it is affordable and I like the veterinary program Iowa Lakes offers. I am really looking forward to the upcoming season."
