In her first season, Logato played a key role in helping the Crusaders’ indoor and beach volleyball programs improve their technical skills, mental toughness, and overall performance. The indoor volleyball team finished the season with a 29-11 record, including a 9-4 mark in conference play, and advanced to the NAIA National Championship. Despite a tough match against Montana Western in pool play, the Crusaders showcased resilience and competitive spirit. The beach volleyball team also saw growth, with notable improvements in skill development and competitiveness.

As an athlete, Logato played at Hutchinson Community College, where she helped lead the team to the NJCAA National Tournament in 2009 after winning the Region IV Regular Season and Conference Tournament titles. She then transferred to the University of South Dakota, earning a bachelor’s degree in political science and Spanish. During her time with the Coyotes, Logato played a pivotal role in their success, earning All-Conference honors in both the Great West and Summit League, surpassing 1,000 career digs, and setting the school record for most digs in a single match (41). She was also named to the All-Tournament Team at the Creighton Invitational in 2011 and earned multiple defensive player of the week accolades from the Summit League.

After graduation, Logato returned to Brazil to pursue a bachelor’s degree in physical education and to begin her coaching career in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Logato is an active member of the CBV (Brazilian Volleyball Confederation) Women’s Beach Volleyball Coaches Training Program, which aims to increase women's participation in beach volleyball both in Brazil and worldwide.
