WHY UWF? "I chose UWF because I immediately felt welcomed and at home when I met the team and the coaches. The competitiveness that UWF brings is definitely something I am looking forward to as well. The atmosphere created by the program is exactly what I was looking for in a school and I was blessed to be able to find that again after PSC!"
 
WOLTER'S COMMENTS: "Maddie is an excellent addition to our program. She helped lead Pensacola State College to back-to-back Conference Championships and National Championship appearances, as their libero. Maddie has excellent ball handling skills and refuses to let any ball hit the floor. She also has really strong leadership skills. We are really excited about the addition of Maddie, especially having her start up with us in January. Maddie has already reached a lot of her college goals, and we are excited for her to set new goals here at UWF."
