Madeline Matheny Gatorade 2018 - 2019: Player of the Year Volleyball

“Madeline Matheny is one of the most talented players I've seen come out of Delaware. She's a six-rotation player over six-feet tall and she has textbook technique. Her domination at the net is what everyone sees, but her backcourt movement and ability to read and defend is more like a libero. It's rare to see that all in one package.”
