Freshman leads the Tigers in digs this season.
Today's Memphis volleyball "Get To Know Me" is Kaitlyn Gehler. A freshman from Waterloo, Wis., Gehler made a quick adjustment to the college game and moved into the rotation at the start of the 2018 campaign. She is the Tigers' starter at libero and leads the team with 232 digs in 63 sets played.
Â
Before arriving in the Bluff City, Gehler was a four-year starter and three-year captain at Lakeside Lutheran High School. She set a school record with 2,240 career digs and helped lead the Warriors to a 143-24 mark in her four seasons. As a senior in 2017, Gehler helped the Warriors to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) Division 2 state title, the first in Warriors' history.
