WHY UWF? "Throughout my recruiting journey, my family and I prayed for the right doors to open and the wrong ones to close, and when I visited the University of West Florida, everything finally felt right. The welcoming atmosphere, competitive culture, and support from Coach Melissa, Coach Lemner, the staff, and the team, who were all so kind and accepting, made it feel like a place I truly wanted to be a part of, especially because there is such a strong system in place with goals set for success and a team and staff willing to do whatever it takes to achieve them. After a long and challenging process filled with ups and downs, I truly feel like God has led me exactly where I am meant to be to continue both my volleyball and academic career."

WOLTER'S COMMENTS: "Maddie is a proven winner.  She's helped Chiles High School continue their tradition of winning State Titles indoor and just recently also helped them win a State Title on the Beach.  She's an incredible athlete and competitor that will add great depth to our DS/Libero position.  She has the ability to make routine plays and spectacular plays at a high level.  We knew very early on in recruiting Maddie, that she would fit our culture perfectly and help secure our pass and defense as we move into this new era.  Maddie has a big future here at UWF."
