DAYTON – Wright State volleyball coach Travers Green has announced the signing of five players this morning to join the Raider program and attend Wright State University beginning next fall.
The newest Raiders are Fiona Cooper, Audrey Hudson, Greta McKee, Haley Robinson and Katie Sowko.
In addition to those five, in partnership with Team IMPACT, Wright State has also signed Gracie Arnold and her service dog Auggie. A Kettering, Ohio native, Arnold lives with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and mitochondrial disease, asthma, and movement disorder. She loves art, throwing parties for Auggie, baking, a good theme, dressing up, and being in the water. Team IMPACT matches children facing serious illness and disability with college sports teams, creating a long-term, life-changing experience for everyone involved.
"We are excited to announce our 2024 recruiting class! This class fills a lot of needs for us, more importantly we are adding quality people to our program," Green said. "We learned a lot while recruiting this class. Our staff worked hard to solidify such a talented group of people. We are honored they choose Wright State and looking forward to getting them on campus!"
