Born and raised in the mountains of Northern Utah, Maggie Mendelson grew up in sports. Ahead of her peers, Maggie graduated high school a year early but still managed to secure the title of Gatorade Player of the Year in volleyball in Utah. Maggie then went on to play both volleyball and basketball for the University of Nebraska – a rare accomplishment for a high-performing program. With Nebraska volleyball, Maggie helped the Huskers to a second-place finish in the NCAA tournament before deciding to transfer to Penn State University to focus solely on volleyball for the remainder of her collegiate career. Off the court, Maggie enjoys hiking, painting with watercolors, hanging out with friends, and creating on social media. Maggie loves her height and how it makes her stand out in a crowd. Even if she had a choice, she would still choose to be exceptionally tall.
