The Northern Sun Conference has handed out their Volleyball All-Conference Awards and Darcy Hageman (Sr., Decorah, Iowa) has earned an NSIC Honorable Mention. The all-conference nod is the first in the program's short Division II and Northern Sun history; it is also the first all-conference honor that a Peacock volleyball player has earned since 2000 in the Iowa Athletic Collegiate Conference. Darcy Hageman played in 22 of the team's 30 matches due to injury this season. Hageman recorded 238 kills with a .220 hitting percentage on the season. The senior tallied 20 service aces, 187 digs, and 50 blocks (9 solo). The Decorah-native led the Peacocks in points/game at 3.89. "It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Darcy over the past two years. She was voted team captain in her first year with the program and has been a solid leader and role model ever since. Darcy is "the" model student-athlete, her GPA is above a 3.9 as a Biology major and she is an All Conference volleyball athlete. I am convinced that if Darcy would not have missed 8 matches because of injury and been limited to back row play for three more, then she would be a first team nomination and a strong All-Region candidate. She meant more to this team than just the kills, blocks, and aces she provided. I will remember Darcy as a player that would do what ever it would take for her team to succeed." - Dave Jackson, Head Coach The UIU volleyball team finished the season with a 4-26 record overall and remained winless in Northern Sun Conference play (0-18). The team graduates two players and will return ten players for the 2008 campaign. |
