Goldfeder on choosing Colgate: “Colgate has always been a school I've been looking at even before I knew I wanted to play volleyball in college. Talking with other schools, I never had the same connection that I have with Coach Ryan and Michelle. I was always excited to keep in touch on phone calls with them, even if we weren't talking about volleyball and the recruiting process. I feel like I have had such a special connection with them and that helped make my decision so much easier. Colgate is also the type of school where you can make so many great connections during college and for your future. I love the tight knit community Colgate has and meeting the girls on the team and seeing how they interact has made me want to be a part of their community."
