Wichita State libero Gabi Maas joins the podcast to discuss Friday's senior night game and her career with the Shockers. We dive into the NIVC title in 2023 and why that was important to her journey, the stress of recovering from a knee injury and what she's learned from coach Chris Lamb. We also shout out the athletic trainers at Wichita State, including volleyball's Kat Hollowell, and how those relationships led Maas into her next step. 

The Shockers wrap up the regular season with a 6 p.m. home match on Friday vs. Temple. On Sunday, WSU plays at UAB.

Maas leads the American Conference with 396 digs, 4 per set. She earned Defensive Player of the Week honors in late October following a 49-dig weekend where she averaged a conference-high 5.44 digs per set.

She started at libero in 2023 for a team that went 26-8 and won the NIVC title. She earned a spot on the all-tournament team along with setter Izzi Strand and middle Morgan Stout. A knee injury sidelined her in 2024 before she returned in 2025 to again play libero.
