On Coach Maurer:
“I would say she is a very friendly and fun, yet determined person. She knows how to coach in order to succeed and get what she wants accomplished.”
“It means to be able to balance working hard everyday in the gym while also excelling in class. It is an honor to be able to play volleyball at Lehigh, and being a part of the Lehigh student-athlete experience is something I can’t wait to be a part of.”
