SCAC Announces All-Conference Volleyball Team

SUWANEE, Ga. – In exclusive all‐conference voting by the head coaches and sports information directors of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, Alexis Bodunrin of University of St. Thomas was selected the SCAC Player‐of‐the‐Year while her coaches at UST, led by head coach Keanne Burt, were named the SCAC Coaching Staff‐of‐the‐Year. Complete Release

In the same balloting, St. Thomas’ Carly Lange was voted Backrow Player-of-the-Year and Colorado College’s Camden Goodman and Schreiner University’s Harlie Gallaspy split the vote to earn Co-Setter-of-the-Year honors. University of the Ozark’s Brooke Humphrey was selected as First-Year Player-of-the-Year.

A junior outside hitter from Tomball, Texas, Bodunrin leads the SCAC in several offensive categories, including kills (422 – 17th in the nation), kills per set (4.10 - 24th in the nation), points (469 – 20th in the nation) and points per set (4.55 – 29th in the nation) heading into this weekend’s conference tournament. Her kills increased to 4.48 in conference matches, as did her points per set to 4.93 – both league-best totals. A five-time SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week – the most single-season accolades since Colorado College’s Georgia Mullins earned the honor five times during the 2021 season – Bodunrin is currently hitting .251 (15th in the SCAC) and has added 309 digs (11th in the SCAC), 33 blocks, 28 service aces and 25 assists. Her selection marks the first time a UST Celt has earned the league’s highest honor since the program joined the conference prior to the 2019 season.

Bodunrin was the clear choice in the balloting for POTY, receiving 19 votes from the coaches and SIDs. Junior outside hitter Camille Sherrill of Colorado College picked up three votes and junior outside hitter Giana Hilliard of Schriener University received the two remaining votes.

Lange, a junior libero from Bellville, Texas, is currently leading the SCAC in digs (646) and digs per set (6.15) and is third in all of Division III in both categories. The junior is also ninth in the conference in service aces with 41. A two-time Defensive POTW performer during the regular season, Lange has produced five of the top 10 single-match dig performances in the conference this season, including a single-match high of 37 on three different occasions. Lange is the third St. Thomas student-athlete to receive Backrow Player-of-the-Year recognition, joining Kaylyn Latin, who earned the honor in back-to-back seasons in 2019 and 2020/21 and UST’s most recent recipient, Kara Spice, following the 2023 season.

Lange received 15 votes in the Backrow Player-of-the-Year balloting followed by junior libero Meghan Gannon of Colorado College who had five votes. Senior defensive specialist Jenna Palomarez of Schriener picked up three votes and junior libero Laynie Kovacs of Austin College received the remaining first-place vote.

Goodman, a sophomore from Park City, Utah, and a three-time SCAC Setter of the Week during the regular season, has been on a tear since taking over as the Tigers’ starting 5-1 setter. Over the team’s last eight matches, Goodman is averaging 10.45 assists per set, and heading into this weekend’s conference tournament, she leads the league in both total assists (590) and assists per set (7.47). Largely due to Goodman’s good setting work, the CC squad leads the SCAC in hitting percentage and has won seven straight heading into this weekend’s tournament – the longest active win streak in the conference. The sophomore has also chipped in with 29 service aces and 202 digs. Goodman is the fourth different Tiger to earn Setter-of-the-Year honors, joining Isabelle Aragon-Mazel (2020-21), Jenny Jenks (2021 and 2022) and Annie Steger (2024).

Gallaspy
, a junior from Corpus Christi, Texas, finished the regular season ranked fourth in the conference in both assists (526) and assists per set (5.54) while running the Mountaineers’ 6-2 offense. The junior scored on 43 percent of her serves while recording 43 service aces (seventh in the SCAC). A two-time Setter-of-the-Week, Gallaspy’s setting ability helped four of her teammates finish in the top 15 in hitting percentage during conference play and her 85 percent dig percentage was higher than most of the league’s top liberos. Gallaspy is the first Schreiner student-athlete to earn Setter-of-the-Year honors in the six-year history of the award.

In the tightly contested vote for Setter of the Year, Goodman and Gallaspy each received nine first-place votes to share this year’s honor. Senior setter Adilynn Henry of Hendrix College was tabbed atop four ballots while senior setter Madison Manning of Austin College and senior setter Mia Medina of St. Thomas picked up one vote each.

A first-year outside hitter from Castle Rock, Colorado, Humphrey led all first-years in both total kills (247 – 11th in the SCAC) and kills per set (2.98 – eighth in the SCAC) as well as points (280.5 – 11th in the SCAC) and points per set (3.4 – ninth in the SCAC) during the regular season. She had seven double-doubles over the course of the Eagles’ inaugural season of varsity volleyball, including a stretch where she posted double-digit kills and digs in six of seven matches from September 2 to September 20. Humphrey’s selection as First-Year Player-of-the-Year is obviously a first for the first-year program and marks the fifth different conference program to have a FY-POTY recipient in the last six years.

In the balloting for First-Year Player-of-the-Year, Humphrey received eight first place votes, followed closely by Austin College’s first-year middle blocker Madisin Hartsfield, who received six votes. First-year right side Ashlyn Wilburn of Schreiner earned three votes while first-year setters Emily Mullin of LeTourneau University and Emma Rosier of Concordia University (Texas) picked up two votes each. First-year outside hitter/right side Brooke Barnes of St. Thomas, first-year defensive specialist Breana Timms of Dallas and first-year middle blocker Layleah Williams-Gibson of McMurry University received one vote each.

Head coach Keanne Burt and her staff led St. Thomas to a 23-5 overall mark, a 13-3 conference record, and a share of the Gold Division regular season title – the first conference regular season volleyball crown for the program since the Celts transitioned from NAIA to NCAA Division III and the SCAC in 2019. This year’s squad is currently ranked 44th in the NPI rankings – which is tops among all SCAC programs and the third-best in NCAA Division III Region X. In her 12th season as a head coach at her alma mater and heading into this weekend’s conference tournament, Burt has charted an overall career mark of 189-154 (.551).

The award marks the first time Burt has been recognized by her peers as the conference’s Coach‐of‐the‐Year (or Coaching Staff-of-the-Year) and she is just the second UST fall sports coach to earn a COTY nod since the school joined the conference prior to the 2019-20 season.
