WHY UWF? "I chose UWF because the culture and team dynamic are truly unique and unlike any other program, it's something I want to be a part of. From the moment I stepped on campus, I could tell that this team values hard work, connection, and growth both on and off the court. I was also drawn to the competition in the gym and the high level of volleyball, because it will challenge me to grow as an athlete. I believe God has led me to this group not only so I can share what I have learned on my journey but also so I can continue to grow in my faith and identity."

WOLTER'S COMMENTS: "Karyna brings excellent championship experience at all levels and great depth in the Setter and Right-side positions.  She played a pivotal role in Metro State winning the NCAA D2 National Championship on and off the court in 2025.  Karyna is the total volleyball player, coming in with a great all-around skill set.  She has a great volleyball iq and is extremely competitive.  She will make an immediate impact on the level of our gym and she's the perfect fit for our move into D1."
