QUOTES: “I chose Grace College because I really enjoyed getting to know the girls on the team. Coach Katie was a super impactful vessel of God's faithfulness toward our family as well, and I felt that the way God's love was shown toward me during our visit days was the main attraction. I was drawn into the team almost as soon as I walked into the arena where they made it clear that it was OK for me to be myself. I want to reach a new level in my volleyball abilities with a fun group of girls who push me to grow physically, mentally and spiritually.”
