Wold, who announced her commitment to College of Holy Cross via Instagram on April 23rd, 2023, says “I never thought Holy Cross would be the place I wanted to commit, but once I went on my visit I fell in love with it.”

Jaquish says, “the big difference from Gabby in her freshman year to now is she has a much better mindset while playing. She is able to not let mistakes affect her as much as they used to and her teammates look to her as a confident leader on the court.”
Looking to finish her last highschool season strong, Wold says, “I’m excited to be playing with my sister this year…it’s been so fun getting sets from her.”
