Her recovery reached a pivotal moment on October 1 when she committed to the University of Iowa, receiving congratulations from notable figures such as George and Claire Kittle.
Now, as Woliczko steps back onto the court, the excitement surrounding her return is palpable. Fans and teammates alike are eager to witness her first game back. The atmosphere at Archbishop Mitty’s home floor is expected to be electric as she takes her place among the Monarchs once again.
