Anderson named AVCA All-Region selection for 3rd straight season
Western Kentucky senior middle hitter Rachel Anderson earned her third straight American Volleyball Coaches Association All-Region Team selection.
The Sturgis, Mich., native is one of 18 current athletes across the country to earn at least three all-region honors.
Anderson had 397 kills in her final season while operating at .346 efficiency. The three-time All-Conference USA selection was effective on the defensive side as well, owning 113 total blocks.
Anderson has the third-most blocks by a Lady Topper in program history with 442. In August, the middle hitter was tabbed the Conference USA Preseason Player of the Year and was later selected as a Senior CLASS Award Candidate.
Anderson led WKU in kills 20 matches this season and in blocks 17 times.
With 1,457 kills across 134 matches during her career, Anderson ranks sixth on the all-time kills list at WKU while her 3.05 kills per set rank eighth. Anderson’s .377 career hitting percentage sits second all-time behind Megan Argabright’s .382.
At the net, Anderson’s 95 solo blocks rank fourth while her 347 block assists rank second overall. Anderson is one of three Lady Toppers to achieve 400 blocks during their career.
Across Anderson’s four seasons, WKU sported a 113-21 record that included six collective Conference USA championships. The Lady Toppers went 53-5 in C-USA regular-season play during Anderson’s career.
