West Virginia University volleyball coach Jen Greeny announced on May 14 the addition of Mirjam Kask, a 6-foot-1 middle blocker from Kiili, Estonia, to the Mountaineers roster for the 2026 season.

The signing brings international experience to the team. Kask most recently played with Volleyball Club VA UNIZA Žilina in Slovakia, where she helped her club finish second in the Slovak Cup and third in the Slovak Extraleague during the 2025–26 season. Prior to that, she competed in Estonia and contributed to a first-place finish in the Estonian Championships and a second-place result in the Estonian Cup during the 2024–25 campaign.

“We’re thrilled to add Mirjam to the West Virginia volleyball family,” Greeny said. “Mirjam is an exciting middle blocker from Estonia who brings a strong physical presence, competitive mindset and tremendous upside to our program. We’re excited to see the impact she will have both on and off the court.”

Kask said she was drawn to West Virginia University because of shared values with its coaching staff. “I chose WVU because I align with many of the same values that the coaching staff has,” Kask said. “There are amazing people at WVU, and I’m excited to be a part of this team.”

Kask attended Tallinn School No. 21 and has been recognized as a standout player throughout her youth and club career as a middle blocker. She plans to major in journalism at West Virginia University while pursuing opportunities both in professional volleyball and media.
