Fitzpatrick’s volleyball career, already so decorated, is really only just beginning. Next fall, she’ll begin the next phase at Penn State. She committed to becoming a Nittany Lion as a sophomore and signed her official letter of intent last month.

“I’m getting excited about going to Penn State,” Fitzpatrick said. “I’m watching Penn State play on television and I can’t wait to be a part of that program next year. The Big Ten is the most competitive conference and every game is a battle. You have to go all out and give 100 percent all the time and I’m looking forward to that.”

A versatile multisport athlete, Fitzpatrick also plays for the Trinity basketball team and runs track, in addition to competing in beach volleyball.
