The first-ever two-time National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) DI Volleyball All-American in Indian Hills Volleyball history, Tamara Merseli left her mark in the Warrior record books. In two years with the Warriors, Merseli helped lead the program to an overall record of 64-12.

Merseli earned NJCAA Honorable Mention All-American honors as a true freshman following a season that saw the Belgrade, Serbia native total 509 kills, the ninth-best single season mark in program history. Merseli followed up with an impressive sophomore campaign that resulted in second-team All-American honors. Merseli totaled 969 kills for her career, the fifth-best mark all-time at Indian Hills.

Merseli's talents at Indian Hills led her to the University of North Dakota where she joined the 1,000 dig club and posted the top two attack attempt totals in program history. At the time, Merseli left the North Dakota program with the fourth and ninth best single season kill totals. Merseli was a part of two Big Sky Tournament Championships and was named the Big Sky Newcomer of the Year. Merseli was also twice named to the Academic All-Big Sky Team.

Merseli's collegiate career continued at the beach level where she joined the University of Louisiana-Monroe program as a graduate student before joining the Warhawks' beach coaching staff for the 2020-21 season.
