Volleyball Adds Max-Brown For 2020

East Lansing, Mich. -- Michigan State volleyball coach Cathy George has announced that Cecilee Max-Brown will enroll at the University and be a part of the program for the upcoming 2020 season.

Max-Brown is transferring to Michigan State from Oregon State University, where she appeared in 11 matches in 2019 as a true freshman as she battled injuries. The Surrey, British Columbia native is a two-time Canadian Junior National Team member and trained with the nation's National Team in the summer of 2019 (along with former Spartan letterwinners and current Canadian National Team members Autumn Bailey and Jazmine White).

"We are excited to bring Cecilee into our Michigan State family," said George, who will begin her 16^th season on the MSU sideline this fall. "She brings a wealth of talent, athleticism and experience as a six- rotation attacker. Her work ethic and desire to be the best makes her a natural fit for our culture and our goals."
