Marya Morusiewicz could be the "most perfect" student-athlete to ever compete for Barry University. Marya's accomplishments on the court and in the classroom can be considered stunning. One of 10 national finalists for the 1996 NCAA Woman-of-the-Year, Marya was the 1997 winner of the NCAA's prestigious $10,000 Walter Byers Post-Graduate Scholarship, awarded to the top student-athlete in Division I, II, or III. She was the Florida NCAA Woman-of-the-Year in 1996, a three-time GTE Academic All-American in volleyball, and the Sunshine State Conference's Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1996.

Morusiewicz, a native of Sarasota, Florida, was also a three-time Barry Scholar Athlete-of-the-Year. She was selected four times to the SSC All-Academic team, and graduated from Barry with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. Athletically, in 1995, she was captain of Barry's NCAA National Championship volleyball team, First Team All-South Regional Tournament, and Honorable Mention All-SSC. A superb citizen, Morusiewicz had a remarkable record of community service at Barry, including being President of the Barry Athletic Trainer's Association, BUCS Tutors, Habitat for Humanity, Campus Ambassador, Easter Seals, and the Sarasota Therapy Center Volunteer, among many others. Marya is currently attending the University of Miami and is pursuing a master's degree in Physical Therapy.
