GOSHEN — Three-sport varsity letterwinner and Bethany senior Mandy Schlabach has signed a national letter of intent to continue her academic and volleyball careers at Goshen College, that institution announced today. Schlabach, whose four varsity volleyball letters are complemented by one in basketball and two in tennis, will join 2010 alumna Lexi Kantz and 2009 graduate Hannah Grieser in becoming the third Bruin on the Maple Leaf volleyball team next fall. Goshen volleyball coach Jim Routhier praised Schlabach's versatility in the signing's announcement, telling GoLeafs.net that "she hit outside, hit right side, hit middle, was setter ... and got two aces serving. She can definitely do it all."

Schlabach's name appears multiple times in the record books at Bethany, where she ranks third in career assists, fifth in serving aces and sixth in kills, while her 506 assists in a six-hitter/two-setter rotation in 2009 were a school record for that strategy.

The Maple Leafs went 18-15 in Routhier's second season as head coach in 2010, bowing out in the conference tournament quarterfinals after going 17-16 and advancing to the conference championship the previous season. Goshen competes in the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics and the Mid-Central College Conference.
