Madison Peal – shared by Grace GoodykeParents: Gigi MCauley (with her husband Matt) and Matt Peal (with his wife Ericka).Madi is committed to Hillsdale College. Ever since the summer going into my freshman year Madi has been one of the biggest role models in my life and I am constantly looking up to her. She has become like an older sister to me and I will never be able to thank her for the ways she has been there for me. Madi is one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet and can make anyone laugh in any situation. In both of the years I have gotten to play with Madi, she has been our team captain. She leads our team with passion, kindness, and enthusiasm every single day on and off the court, pushing every player to be their best. Madi, thank you for the endless car rides filled with laughter and gas station stops for Dr. Pepper with vanilla after practice. You have shown me what Eagle Volleyball is all about and you have left such a positive impact
