A graduate of the University of Nebraska, Doleman was the play-by-play announcer for the 2002 State Farm NACWAA Volleyball Classic held in Minneapolis, as well as the 2002, 2003 and 2004 MWC Volleyball Championships.
Gant, a 1998 graduate of BYU, brings an extensive volleyball background to television. She was a three-time All-American for the Cougars and played for the U.S. National Team from January 1998 to September 1999. An NCAA Woman of the Year top 10 finalist, Gant was the color analyst for the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Mountain West Conference Volleyball Championships.
