There was a rumor about this on another thread, I guess this makes it official. It will be interesting to see where she ends up.
U. setter to transfer from team

Sophomore setter Shannon Krug of Colorado Springs told her University of Utah volleyball teammates Tuesday at the team's postseason meeting that she will leave the school in search of more playing time elsewhere.
In just two seasons, she is No. 6 in Ute career assists with 1,796.
Krug — who was named 2006 preseason all-Mountain West Conference setter after an outstanding freshman campaign, in which she ranked No. 9 on Utah's career assists list with 1,423 and started all 32 matches — lost her starting job this season to freshman Sydney Anderson, who last month was named MWC Setter of the Year/Freshman of the Year.
Krug informed coach Beth Launiere of her intentions on Monday but did not tell teammates until Tuesday's meeting.
Launiere sympathizes with her quest and said she will do all she can to help Krug find another school.
"There are no hard feelings on either side," Launiere said. "She wants to play and deserves to play and is capable of playing at a high level."
In 2006, Krug played 38 games in 21 matches with 373 assists. She started two matches early in the season for the Utes, who ranked as high as No. 9 nationally and who had a 25-match win streak, were 16-0 in MWC play to win the regular-season championship and went to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before losing Saturday at No. 4-ranked, No. 4-seeded UCLA.
