The Niagara College department of Athletics & Recreation is pleased to announce the addition of outside hitter Maddi Morgan to the Women’s Volleyball Program. Morgan is a member of the Durham Region Volleyball Club and is a graduate of All Saints Catholic High School.

“Niagara College just checked off all the boxes” said Morgan.  The eighteen year-old continued “after touring a number of schools across Canada and the U.S. it just felt like the right fit. The school and facilities are beautiful and clean and I felt like the college was everything I had been looking for."

Head Coach Joey Martins of the Knights’ Women’s Volleyball Program commented “Maddi Morgan is a tremendous athlete and she plays volleyball very physically. She has a great serve and a massive attack. I am very excited to work with her and further develop her as a player.”

The five-foot-nine Whitby, Ontario native most recently helped lead a strong DRVC 18U Girls’ team to a Tier Two gold medal at the 2013 Ontario Volleyball Association Championships.

Niagara College Intercollegiate Coordinator Ray Sarkis feels “the DRVC is a strong club program that has developed elite players that have played at high levels across Canada and the U.S. Maddi is an up-and-coming player that will help our Women’s Program grow and develop.”

Morgan will enroll in the Recreation & Leisure Program beginning in September of 2013, and she identifies a strong balance as one of her goals while on campus. “I want to make a positive impact while at the school. I am really looking forward to practicing, studying, and working hard to make the best of the entire experience.”

Coach Martins continued “Maddi is a great all-around person who is very close with her family and will transition nicely into the Women’s Volleyball Program we are developing at Niagara College.”
