Why Kansas City?:Â "I chose Kansas City because of the amazing coaches and players. I also really loved the school and how close it is to home."
Coach Posey on Keithley: "In Caroline, we get another quality player from St. Louis and Rockwood Thunder VBC. What attracted us to Caroline was her athleticism, her defensive discipline and her quick delivery. She reminds us a bit of senior setter Peyton Van Nest, and we believe Caroline will develop quickly in our offensive system. A selfless player, Caroline wants to highlight her teammates and is more excited about their success than her own. Dedicated to working hard and devoted to her teams, she is a perfect fit for our program. We are thrilled she chose to bring her talent to Kansas City!"
