HELENA, Mont. - Carroll College Head Volleyball Coach Moe Boyle has announced another signing to her 2023 class. McKaila Balcom will join the Fighting Saints on the court this fall.

Balcom is a 5-10 Right Side from Tri-Cities, Wash. where she attended Tri-Cities Prep.

Balcom, a mutli-sport standout athlete in high school, joins the Carroll roster after an impressive prep career. She was named a First Team All-Conference selection in her sophomore and junior seasons, while picking up an Honorable Mention All-State nod in her junior year. In her senior season Balcom was named First Team All-State along with garnering team MVP honors. In addition to her recognition on the volleyball court, Balcom was also named an All-Conference and All-State performer as a member of the Tri-Cities Prep basketball team.

"From the moment I watched her play, I knew she was someone that could come in here and make a difference." Said Boyle. "McKaila plays the game with an abundance of intensity, and she has tons of potential to be a great player."

Balcom is just as impressive in the classroom as on the court, she graduated with a 3.97 GPA and was a recipient of her school's Presidential Award all four years. Balcom will join the Pre-Med track at Carroll.

"I love Montana and love the environment at Carroll." Said Balcom. "I get the chance to play the sport I love in such a beautiful place and a school that I know will push me to be a better person. I hope to be able to make a difference on the team, and have a positive impact on my teammates and those around me!"

Balcom will join the rest of the Carroll squad on campus at the beginning of August for Fall Camp.
