We hope you and yours are surviving.

She is a Greek-American, who participated in EVE 2018 and 2019, won everyone's hearts, and is now residing in Chicago, her dad's hometown.

Stauroula Papazoglou - International transfer student (TBD whether 1-2-3 years of eligibility, based on coursework and transferred credits)

Stavroula is still available and ready to come and kill it. 

We have been discussing Stavroula these days, and we love what she can contribute. Leadership, work ethic, intangibles, a respectful yet relentless mentality, and a humble spirit. She's one of 6 kids, dad has MS and major health issues, and she's been mom and sister for her siblings. She really deserves a break, and we feel she will crush it wherever she goes... She's one of the kids for whom we gladly invest time and effort, she's worth it.



She will carry at least a year of credits from her Greek University, the University of Macedonia Business School, in Thessaloniki, Greece.


Also, Stavroula plays beach volleyball too.

Quick follow-up on Didar, as apparently US Embassies there are still taking appointments for incoming students. She's looking to wrap up ASAP with either 4-year institutions or nationally competitive JCs.
She is a proud member of the Turkish Volleyball Federation's infrastructure, annually producing top talent for one of the most competitive pro leagues in the world, the Sultan's League, as well as grooming the next generation of Turkish national team players. Didar was in TVF's high school in Ankara, alongside other highly-talented friends and teammates featured on TVF's national teams' selections:

One impressive classmate/teammate of Didar is Dilara Ünal, whom the Nomos team affectionately refers to as the Swiss Army knife (insert 2, 3, 4-in-1 comparatives here, shampoo and conditioner, etc...) of Turkish Volleyball. At 6-5+, Dilara has played 6-rot OH, OPP with back row coverage, and most recently high-level MB. We don't have a lot of quality footage, but she humored the request so here she is:




(#17 yellow; very hard to read the jersey #s, but one does not need to point her out...) 

Stay healthy and keep loving volleyball

Here's new footage we just received from Duru Ozkan, one of the most highly-motivated young ladies we have met in a while:

We are super excited to watch some high-level volleyball from Europe amidst these insane days! The CEV U19 European Championships are underway August 22-30 in Bosnia and Croatia. Sadly, a couple of days before the tournament three of the strongest teams bailed Germany, Italy, and Russia Darn COVID!
Still, we're pumped to watch some terrific talent beginning at 9a US Eastern Time Sat 8/22, with a match-up featuring several Nomos EVE participants, when Bulgaria takes on Turkey in Osijek, Croatia. Here are links to the CEVs:

Here we go, a little taste of normalcy, and a whole lot of talent... Warmest wishes to the girls, the coaches, all the officials and admins, and all their families for a safe and healthy competition!

Best to everyone from St. Louis. Stay healthy!
