Doherty on Carter: "Madison was one of our premier players for five years.  She was a pivotal attacker for us in two National Semifinals and made an immediate impact in our program.  What I will remember most about Madison is her character through adversity and her relentless desire to be great.  We can't thank her enough for all the hard work she put into being one of the best players ever to wear the blue and white."
