She led the Bulldogs to the nation’s best winning percentage for the second time in four years, as Wingate became the first team in SAC history to win the NCAA Regionals and advance to the Elite Eight. Gale led the conference in hitting percentage, while ranking in the top five in kills, blocks and aces. She finishes her career as the school’s all-time leader in kills per game.
