Meet Gillian

A libero from Westchester, Illinois, Gillian joins LOVB Madison following a championship career at Penn State, where she helped the Nittany Lions win the 2024 NCAA National Championship. A three-year starter, she earned second team All-Big Ten honors, was named to the 2024 NCAA Championship All-Tournament Team, and led her team in digs in multiple seasons. Known for her steady serve-receive and defensive leadership, she brings championship pedigree and back-row consistency to LOVB Madison.
