"We are so excited to add Makenna to the Golden Eagle Volleyball family, she brings a wealth of athleticism and competitiveness to our team," said Head Coach Sarah Morgan. "Makenna is a great athlete and volleyball player, and we cannot wait to see what she adds to our team in the gym, classroom, and community."

Frazier adds a Minnesota native to the Golden Eagle roster. UMN Crookston has had an emphasis on in-state and regional recruiting under Morgan, and the trend continues with Frazier.
