The formal signing day for NCAA institutions isn’t until April 15, but members of the national championship-winning College of Southern Idaho volleyball team are beginning to sort out their future plans.

Outside hitter Samantha Misa looks set to be the second Golden Eagle to cement her plans (middle blocker Torrey Hulsey signed with West Virginia during the early period). Misa makes her third official visit this weekend, to the University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. Misa has visited Fresno State and Louisiana-Lafayette and has offers from both schools. Misa hinted toward Fresno State as the favorite at this point, and expects to make a decision Monday.

Right-side hitter Jessica Peacock, who had a change of heart and returned to the CSI program over the winter break instead of going home to Australia, will make official visits to the University of Florida as well as the University of the Pacific, CSI coach Heidi Cartisser said.

Libero Britani Hathorn has an official visit planned to East Tennessee State University. Cartisser said she expects Hathorn to generate further interest after next weekend’s spring tournament in Las Vegas.

“Libero is always the last position to fill so it can come pretty late in the game,” Cartisser said.

Middle blocker Amanda Filiaga is making an official visit to the College of Idaho this weekend.

On the incoming front, Cartisser said she has a few leads but no verbal or written commitments as of yet. As the national champion, CSI is in a position to be selective with its recruits, but “that doesn’t mean there’s not a panic mode,” Cartisser said.
