For the first time in its brief C-USA history, a WKU student-athlete was named the C-USA Player of the Year. Junior Alyssa Cavanaugh claims the honor as the league’s top player after posting an incredible offensive season. The Louisville, Kentucky, native led C-USA in kills this season with 444, the most of any season in her collegiate career. Cavanaugh also stood out nationally as her .338 hitting percentage topped all NCAA volleyball players who had 900 or more attacks this season. Cavanaugh, a first-team All-Conference selection, helped lead WKU to its third straight regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the C-USA Championship.
