Gabriela Mendez Maysonet '23 Recruiting Profile

Volleyball  has been a part of my life since very little, I was 5 years old when I first played.  My older sister was already playing so I wanted to follow in her footsteps.  

It has been good and hard being a student athlete.  When my friends are sleeping in or going to the beach I have practice or tournaments, but you know what? I have loved every minute of it.   

I see myself playing volley today, tomorrow...through hurricanes, earthquakes and even pandemics.  I wont stop playing a game that makes me feel good about myself.  A game that makes me want to become a better player, teammate, person.

Most of the time I’m competing against myself to be better. That is what I will bring to any team, my commitment to work hard and play better each day.  

I want to go to college to achieve my academic goals with volleyball being part of my college experience.
