OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Thirty NCAA® women’s volleyball student-athletes who excel both on and off the court were selected today as candidates for the 2013 Senior CLASS Award® in collegiate volleyball. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition.
