Alex Reed Inks Deal In Greece With Panaxiakos AON

Greek club Panaxiakos AON has announced in its official website the signing of Alex Reed to its roster. The 24-year-old 5’11” opposite hitter is transferring out of Finland to what will be her sophomore professional season after graduating from Colorado State in 2017.

Here are her first words as a member of her new team:

“I am very excited to fight for Panaxiokos! I have a good feeling for our team and I think it will be a very talented squad. With determination and hard work we will do well in the championship this season. I look forward to meeting all those who are involved in the club and have a new experience on this beautiful island.”

Reed started her college career at Long Beach State. In three seasons, she totaled 825 kills, 612 digs, receiving first-team All-Big West honors in her junior year. After transferring to Colorado State, she was named the 2015 Mountain West Newcomer of the Year and boasted a serve percentage of .956, good for fourth-best in program history. At her new club, she’ll find a squad that finished its 2017/18 season with a 13-7 record, good enough for 5th place, but just missing out on the playoffs.
