Coach Jeanne Hess said, "I am so very proud of Madi's athletic performance this week, and this entire season, in addition to her growth as a student-athlete during her career so far at Kalamazoo College. She is certainly an offensive force for us, in addition to being one of the most competitive players I have ever coached. Madi demands a level of excellence and intensity from herself and her teammates that goes above and beyond current expectations. To honor Madi in this way is a step forward for K Volleyball."
