BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana Volleyball program added another professional to its growing list of former players taking the next step in their careers. Outside hitter Mady Saris signed with AONS Milon last Friday (May 9) – a Greek team in the A1 Ethniki Women’s Volleyball league.
Saris, a four-year player for the Hoosiers, wrapped up her collegiate career with 1,090 kills and 149 blocks. She became the 20th member of the 1,000-kill club at IU, reaching that mark in October of 2024 in a match at Minnesota. Saris played in 119 matches in four seasons in Bloomington.
AONS Milon is one of 12 teams in the top professional league in Greece. They finished 10th in the 2024-25 table and ended the season with a pair of wins in the playout tournament to stay above the cutline in the league. Saris will join the green and black side – based out of Nea Smyrni, Greece – for the 2025-26 season.
On top of signing professionally, Saris will continue her summer of volleyball with the Canadian National Team. The 6-1 outside hitter was named the initial 30-person roster for this summer’s Volleyball Nations League. Team Canada will open pool play in Ottawa against Bulgaria, The Netherlands, Japan and Serbia.
There are three phases to the Volleyball Nations League, with each phase shifting to a different host city. Canada will go to Turkey in Week 2 and the United States in Week 3. Saris is eligible to be selected for the team’s final competition roster at any point but will train with the team through the entire process.
