"Maddy put together a very solid 4-0 first weekend for us and it is wonderful she is being recognized by the conference," Milwaukee head coach Sean McInerney said. "She competed very hard, played smart and found a way to win, which was great to see. The fact Maddy was able to become our programs all-time wins leader in just over two seasons is amazing. She has been a major part of the building of this program and I am very proud of her."
