Lindberg signs professional contract with Finland Volleyball League Club Liigaploki
University of Arkansas at Little Rock volleyball player Taylor Lindberg's career will continue professionally as the setter has signed a professional contract with club Liigaploki of the Finland Volleyball League. "I'm very excited to be able to continue my volleyball career and follow in my father's footsteps in playing professionally over in Europe," Lindberg said. "I would like to say thanks to all my teammates, coaches, friends, and family for the support over the years. This is a new beginning for me, and I am thankful for coach Lodi and Liigaploki for giving me this opportunity."
