It was pretty much predestined that Gabby Simpson was going to play volleyball for the University of Colorado. She may not have known it at the age of 12 when she started playing club volleyball for the esteemed Colorado Juniors, or two years ago during the middle of her senior season at Doherty High School in Colorado Springs, but it was clear that CU would have more to offer her than any other university. Not only would she be able to call the picturesque Boulder home, but she would also be playing the game she loved with her older sisters Cierra and Taylor Simpson.
