Berrell helped Ripon to the only undefeated record of the seven teams at the Beloit Buc Blast over the weekend, helping the Red Hawks to their first 4-0 start to a season in 11 years.

Playing in her first four matches as a collegiate volleyball player, Berrell led Ripon in kills during the tournament, recording 55 (3.67/set), which is currently tops in the MWC. The Rhinelander, Wis. native also ranks second in the conference in hitting percentage (.336).
