Why Maggie Chose Wingate:
I chose Wingate because it was the best fit for me. I loved the atmosphere of Wingate both on campus and with the volleyball team. All the volleyball girls and coaches were so genuine, as well as everybody else on campus that I met. I'm impressed with everything about the academic opportunities as well. It felt like home the first time I was there. I am excited about joining a championship program."

Collier: 
"Maggie is an athletic and dynamic libero who has played some high-level volleyball as both a club and as a high school player. She will have an impact here as a defensive specialist, as a libero and quite possibly as a setter. We are excited about bringing her skill set to our team."
