MAB Female Athlete of the Month | August 2026
Sierra Gustavsson | Volleyball
Congratulations to Sierra Gustavsson on being named the Mandan Athletic Booster Club - MAB Club Female Athlete of the Month!
Sierra was nominated by Mandan Braves Head Volleyball Coach Anna Folk for the tremendous attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn she has shown while taking on a new position this season.
While adjusting to the demands of a new role, Sierra has quickly become an important and dependable part of the team.
What stands out most about Sierra is her leadership. She is a quiet yet steadfast leader who leads more through her actions than through words. She brings a sense of composure and confidence to the court and has become a calming presence for her teammates, especially during challenging moments in a match. She may not always be the loudest voice on the court, but her teammates know they can count on her. She quietly sets the tone, stays composed under pressure and continues to put her team in the best position to succeed.
At the BPS Crossover, the Braves played six matches and went 4-2. Sierra contributed 127 assists, 50 digs and 6 kills. These numbers reflect not only her individual performance, but also her willingness to do whatever is needed to help her team succeed.
