Kehoe named

Setter of the Year

The honors keep rolling in for the Stanford women’s volleyball team, which finished as NCAA runner-up for the second straight year. After leading the nation in assists with 14.4 per game, senior setter Bryn Kehoe was named the Collegiate Volleyball Update National Setter of the Year.

Kehoe’s award complements the recent announcement of junior middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo as the Honda Sports Awards’ best female collegiate volleyball player in the nation. Kehoe holds both the Cardinal’s all-time and season assist record; she is also in the top 20 on the all-time NCAA assists leaderboard.

Kehoe, a native of Ohio, is not done on the court just yet, however — she was recently named to the 18-player U.S. National Team training roster alongside freshman outside hitter Alix Klineman, junior outside hitter Cynthia Barboza and Akinradewo. The four Cardinal players will all have a chance to qualify for the 2008 Olympics.
