Personal: Abbie Martin, from Hannibal, Missouri, is a graduate of Hannibal High School, where she was a standout multi-sport athlete for the Pirates. The daughter of Phillip and Stacy Martin and sister to Gracie, Abbie balanced academic excellence with athletic dominance. She was a member of RHO KAPPA, the National Honor Society, and Key Club, while also earning Academic All-State honors in volleyball for three years. Her leadership and school spirit were recognized when she was crowned Senior Winter Homecoming Queen. 

A three-sport athlete in soccer, volleyball, and basketball, Abbie’s most decorated accomplishments came on the soccer field, where she was a four-year varsity starter, four-time All-Conference First Team honoree, three-time All-Region and All-State selection, three-year team captain, and two-time WGEM Prep Athlete of the Week. She helped lead her team to four consecutive NCMC championships and broke five school records, including most goals in a season (49), most goals in a career (170), career assists (68), career points (408), and most assists in a season. 

She also broke five school records in volleyball and earned the MSHSAA Award of Excellence for the 2024–2025 school year. Outside of athletics, Abbie enjoys spending time with friends and family, golfing, playing pickleball and sand volleyball, and working at the Coffee Barn in Hannibal. Her favorite athletes are Caitlin Clark and Cristiano Ronaldo, and she supports the Indiana Fever, St. Louis Blues, and the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team.

Why QU?
I chose QU because the moment I visited the campus, I felt very comfortable. The college has a perfect psychology program, which caught my eye because I am planning on studying that major. I am also from Hannibal, so staying close to home was a very big addition when deciding. The team's bond and culture seemed very close, which was very big for me.
