For most seniors on the Harvard men’s volleyball team, the last game of their careers will be the Crimson’s disappointing 3-1 loss to NJIT this past April.
But co-captain Erik Kuld is hoping to write a different ending to his career next year when the 6’1” outside hitter teams up with Brady Weissbourd ’09 to play professionally in Europe.
The two powerful attackers hope to transfer their skills on the hardwood to the sand, as the duo plans to participate in beach volleyball tournaments throughout the continent in hopes of taking home cash prizes.
“Hopefully we will do well enough to make ends meet,” Kuld said. “I’m excited for it for sure.”
Kuld concluded his collegiate career with a strong season, leading his team with 322 kills and 142 digs.
“[Kuld’s] work ethic is just unmatched,” Harvard coach Brian Baise said. “I think he can achieve just about anything if he wants.”
