Why Treslyn chose Wingate:
"I chose Wingate because of how competitive the volleyball program is, I could tell from day one that Wingate Volleyball was training to win and it just made me want to be apart of this family who had just as much heart for the game as I did. I knew that me being on such a competitive team my teammates would push me to be the best I can be. I also chose this school because of how beautiful the campus is and how everyone was extremely nice and welcoming and the fact that Wingate had my major was another big reason why I wanted to attend this school."

Collier:
"Treslyn is an athletic, high-energy defensive specialist who will once again play a key role as a back-row player and leader on our team. She played an entire season as our libero earlier in her career, so she has plenty of valuable experience and will be a strong part of our back-row defense this season."
