Oshkosh men's coach Brian Schaefer announced that Zak Thompson, 6' outside hitter for Next Level VBC, and former Racine Case High School standout, will be joining the UW-Oshkosh men's volleyball team in the fall of 2010.  "Zak will be a perfect fit for our team next year," said Schaefer.  "... he works extremely hard in practice, wants to get better and will be a good replacement for the holes that we are losing this season."  Zak was First-Team All-Racine County and Second-Team All-Conference for Case coach Kerry Timler.  Zak was team captain at Case and led his team in kills, hitting percentage, and was named the team's most valuable player.  Zak plans on pursuing a major in criminal justice.
