Madelyn Meneghetti Bio -
A second-team All-America selection in 1984, Meneghetti is one of only two players in Northwestern history to garner national recognition. She played a key role in leading the Wildcats to Big Ten championships in 1983 and '84.
Meneghetti concluded her career with 1,490 kills, which ranked fourth on Northwestern's all-time list at the time of her induction. She still holds single-season school mark for kills (596), and is second in kills per game (4.45) and fourth in hitting percentage (.285). She was one of six players named to the Big Ten's All-Decade second team, joining teammate and NU Hall-of-Famer Patty Walsh on that squad. Meneghetti also participated in the 1982 and 1983 Olympic Festivals.
Following the conclusion of her collegiate career, Meneghetti was invited to the U.S. Volleyball team trials. There, she was one of the nine players selected from 64 hopefuls, joining three returning players who made the 1985 U.S. National Team. After that she played in West Germany and Italy, before returning to Chicago where she was the top draft pick of the Chicago Breeze of Major League Volleyball.
