Kara Stigter and Maezi Snyder Sign With Murray State
Murray State Volleyball added a pair of high school signees during the November 2025 signing period.Â
Below are the accolades and highlights of both signees:
Kara Stigter, Outside Hitter, New Lenox, Illinois
"Kara fills a position of need for us at Outside," said head coach David Schwepker. "We love her athleticism, how hard she hits the ball, and her aggressiveness. We feel that she has all of the tools to be a Division 1 player and the attitude of a winner who wants to get the job done."
Maezi Snyder, Middle Blocker, West Lafayette, Indiana
"She is a great athlete with a lot of room to grow," said Schwepker. "She is growing into her size and gets better every time we see her play." "She will be a great addition to a position of need, and shows some versatility with the ability to play Right Side as well. She is very smart and comes from a great family, so we feel that there is a lot of upside."
