Sophomore Kelley Crowley had a remarkable volleyball season, earning all-conference honors and helping lead the team to a third place conference finish during her second year on the varsity squad.

Varsity volleyball coach Mark Wasik highlights Crowley’s diversity on the court, and her commitment to both the sport and her teammates.

“She’s extremely dedicated and a great teammate,” Wasik said. “She earned all-conference this year and it was really because we asked so much of her. At times I forget she’s a sophomore because of the responsibility we put on her.”

For Crowley, her personal success in volleyball is not her only motivating factor, but also the supportive community she finds within her team.

“I really love the team aspect of volleyball; especially coming together if you got the point or didn’t we can just regroup and get it back,” Crowley said.

Crowley looks forward to the next two years, hoping to continue to lead her team to success.

“The exciting thing about her is that she’s only a sophomore. I’m excited to see how high her ceiling is,” Wasik said.
