Investing In Champions

"It is truly an honor and privilege to have the opportunity to continue participating in volleyball and basketball at the collegiate level. At WLC, I can pursue both my academic and sporting interests while outwardly glorifying God. The friendships made, both in the classroom and on the court, are especially meaningful as we share a common faith. The support system at WLC is amazing, from friends and family to alumni and the Warrior Club members. The outpouring of appreciation and support has meant the world to me." – Jenna Neuberger, women's basketball and volleyball

"In my few years of participating in athletics at WLC, I have become more than just an athlete. I have watched myself grow and mature into the person I am today. The friendships and bonds I have made through athletics will only continue to further shape me into a Christian leader out in the real world. If it weren't for the support of the Warrior Club members, I may not have had the opportunities given to me through athletics and for that reason I am grateful to each and every member. I am ecstatic to still have a few years left of my athletic career because I know I will truly cherish the memories I have already made and still have yet to make at WLC for the rest of my life." – James Sather, men's soccer

Be The Difference

"We have seen the opportunities that WLC offers to all of its students including the chance to play NCAA Division III sports. We are blessed to be able to help the students as they develop the discipline, camaraderie and teamwork that goes into and comes out of being part of a team. While we can't make most of the games, we enjoy listening to the webcasts at home. It's like we are right there either on the field or courtside." – Dave and Kari Kellen, parents

"As a former student-athlete, I know how rewarding it is to be a part of college athletics. My donation for a lifetime Warrior Club membership allows me to show my support for WLC Athletics. I enjoy the benefits of membership like free admission to games, sitting courtside at basketball contests, reading the Warrior Insider newsletters and purchasing Warrior Wearables at a discount." – Renee Kietzmann '92
