The Trojans earned their first-ever postseason berth – a trip to the NIVC – where they became the first Troy women’s team to win a postseason competition in the Division I era.

A four-year starter (2008-11) for Lewis University, Muesenfechter served as the captain in 2011 before being voted the most valuable player by his teammates. He was named the defensive player of the week in 2011. As a player, he helped Lewis to a top-15 ranking in each of his four years and three 20 or more win seasons.
In 2008, Muesenfechter played for the United States Junior National Team, which placed third at the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation qualifier in El Salvador.
