ALTON – Senior two-sport athlete for Marquette Catholic Kylie Murray signed her national letter of intent Monday evening.

Kylie is also a Tucker's Automotive Female Athlete of the Month for Marquette Catholic. “My friends and family could tell that I enjoyed playing volleyball and being on the court more than being on the field,” Kylie said, “but I think I just excelled better at volleyball.” So, she was left with a choice.
