BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh volleyball program handed out its slate of team awards for the spring 2021 season to three very deserving members of the team. In addition, all six members of the freshman class earned letters for the first time.
Named a Second Team All-Patriot League selection for the first time in her career, senior outside hitter Sabrina Lancaster is the program's Outstanding Athlete Award recipient this season. She finished with a team-high 110 kills, averaging 3.7 per set and tallied 63 kills with 12 total blocks. She registered at least 10 kills in her final seven matches of the year, also getting two double-doubles. Lancaster has had a fantastic four-year career for the Mountain Hawks, compiling a stat sheet that included 941 career kills, the 11th-most in program history.
Having her hard work in the classroom as well as on the court recognized by being named to the Academic All-Patriot League team in the spring, senior Claire Nagelhout receives the Scholar Athlete Award from the program. A psychology major, Nagelhout has turned in a cumulative GPA of 3.78 during her career and has obtained a 4.0 GPA on four separate occasions, including in the Fall 2020 semester. She started eight of Lehigh's nine matches, finishing with 29 kills and 15 blocks, both career-highs. She was fabulous at Loyola Maryland in a five-set win, registering 12 kills and five blocks.
The Coaches Award is awarded to the individual who made significant contributions to the well-being of the team in terms of attitude, improvement, or special leadership and this year's recipient is junior Ava Hudson. Hudson became one of the Mountain Hawks' three tri-captains in 2020-21 and has developed into one of the program's fiercest leaders during her time at Lehigh. She played in six of Lehigh's nine matches on the season and tallied 21 kills, averaging 1.50 per set, also totaling 23 digs with two total blocks.
Lehigh's first-year letter winners are Ally Thaw, Sarah Burau, Sophie Robinson, Lylah Washington, Sophia Meagher and Alina Smith.
