Theis on Daugherty: "As a local, I have been fortunate enough to watch Morgan play over the last several years. I was immediately intrigued with her size and physicality. We think she can play the middle or the right-side position and score points at either position."

Why Daugherty chose MU: "Being close to home and my family was very important to me in deciding where I wanted to attend college and play volleyball. Marquette had everything else I wanted as well – great campus, coaches, culture, academics, and athletics. I fell in love the environment of Marquette and I am beyond excited about my decision."
