IHSVCA ACADEMIC ALL-STATE: Senior Anita Alig
This is the highest honor a student-athlete can receive! To receive this award, the coach must be a member of the IHSVCA, the player must be a senior varsity player and have a minimum 3.5 GPA and either a 1110 SAT or 24 ACT score. Anita was our only senior to qualify! Congrats to Anita for all she accomplished on the court, but even more so, in the classroom.

Junior Bailey Grunkemeyer & Sophomore Molly Gregg
Offensive MVP-
Junior Mackenzie Ewing (Mack led our team in points this season. She led the team at the net in every statistic. She had a team high 295 kills and 632 attempts. She had the best hitting percentage on the team at .312 and the top kill percentage on the team at 46.7%. She was also 86% serving on the season and was #3 on the team in aces with 40. She scored over 400 points for us this season.)
Defensive MVP-
Senior Catherine Gregg (Cat led our team in the back court this year with 4.6 digs per set and 448 digs on the season. She was second on the team in receptions with 3.9 receptions per game and 383 for the season. She refused to let the ball hit the floor when she was on the court and even managed to play her best volleyball with a broken toe at the end of the season.)
Most Improved-
Sophomore Alicia Rosemeyer (As the season progressed, she became more comfortable and confident in her role and along with that, her role become more consistent and more important. She started the season on JV, dressing varsity, but due to injuries, ended as a full-time varsity player who had a major impact at the net, specifically in blocking. When we needed a different look and a stop defensively at the net, we could rely on her to get the job done.)
Best Server-
Sophomore Molly Gregg (Molly had the highest serving percentage on the team at 95%, which is five percentage points higher than our team average. She was second on the team in aces this year with 58. She served 148 more times than anyone else on our team- in part because she was our first server, but in part because she was our best server.)
