[player_tooltip player_id="9353" first="Katie" last="Hoeffner"] at UAA which qualified for the NCAA D2 National Tournament in 2019.

for Katie Hoeffner Katie Hoeffner 5'8" | OH Appleton North | 2018 State WI , a 2018 graduate of Appleton North High School in Wisconsin, that was taking the chance by heading to the University of Alaska-Anchorage to play volleyball for a Division 2 power in a place she had never been.  I was able to catch up with Katie about her experience taking the chance on Alaska, going a 60 hour car drive and a nine hour flight from Appleton, and finding her new home being part of the Seawolves of University Alaska-Anchorage.
