Marple to play volleyball at Le Moyne
By: Ed Weaver | PIAA District IV | May 16, 2013
Senior Mackenzie Marple will be attending Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY next year to play volleyball.
Marple led the state-qualifying team with 64 aces, and recorded 101 kills, 190 service points, and 267 digs during the 2012 season.
"It was a really long process and I debated back and forth for months and months, but I'm really excited to attend Le Moyne next fall," Marple said. "I know it's going to be very competitive and it's going to challenge me to improve my game. I can't wait to get started."
Marple will be joining a familiar face when she steps on campus in the fall as her sister Alex Marple is a member of the girls basketball team.
"I'm so happy to be going to school with my sister. We've always been really close and rarely, if ever, argue so it's going to be great to be so close to her again.
"I've missed her, and being around her again will be so much fun and i think it will make the transition a lot easier for me. It's going to be awesome and I couldn't be happier."
Wellsboro head coach Sharon Zuchowski is also proud of Marple's choice.
"I am very happy for Mackenzie. I knew she wanted to keep competing in volleyball and this just validates the hard work she has put in to reach that goal. Makenzie played a major role on the team this year helping to lead Wellsboro to a District IV championship. She led the team in assists and points scored. I wish her continued success in her volleyball career as she competes at Le Moyne."
WellsboroAthletics.com would like to congratulate Mackenzie on her signing, and wish her the best of luck at the college level.
