CAREER RECORDS FALL AT THE FEET OF TALENTED GRADUATING SENIORS


At the conclusion of 2013, six players will be departing the program due to graduation.  Kristiana Thrash, Taisha Colon, Cheyenne Grant, Amy Cooper, Kareemah Muhammad and Subhana Wrights had key contributions that propelled the team to another successful season in 2013.  Three of these players, Kareemah, Subhana and Amy, have been at the core of the success of the Eagles Volleyball program over the last 3 seasons, the most successful in the program’s history.

Amy Cooper finishes her career as the all-time total ace leader  with 180 aces and is second all-time in aces per set at 0.75 aces/set.  Amy reached the top 50 rank in the NCAA in aces/set every year she played, reaching as high as #14 in the country in her junior year.  Amy is also #3 all-time in total digs and 5th in digs/set.  Amy also leaves the program as #8 in total kills, #9 in kills/set and #3 in attack %.  Amy also places 5th all-time in total blocks and #5 in blocks/set.

But most importantly, Amy led the best offense ever to play at St. Joseph’s and the best 3-year record ever achieved by the program as Amy departs the program as the all-time leader in total assists and the all-time leader in assists/set.

Kareemah Muhammad finishes her career as one of the most accomplished hitters and servers ever to play at CSE.  Kareemah ends her career as #6 all-time in total aces and #10 in aces/set.  Kareemah also finishes #6 in total digs.   Kareemah’s mark though, comes on the offensive side of the ball as this talented outside hitter ends her career as #2 all-time in total kills, #3 in kills/se and #4 in attack %. 

Cheyenne Grant entered her senior year as a sub on the volleyball team and due to injuries suffered throughout the squad, Cheyenne found herself in a major role sooner than she expected.  This talented senior took over the setter position from Amy Cooper and led the team to a 9W-2L finish to the season that guaranteed the Eagles a third consecutive season with a record of at least .500.  In her brief career, Cheyenne finishes #4 all-time in total digs and #2 in assists/set. 

Subhana Wrights ends her stellar career as the all-time leader in total kills with 840 kills.  Subhana is #2 all-time in kills/set and is the all-time leader in attack % with a 19.8%, taking the #1 slot from Irena Moore who held the record of 19.3% for her work from the 2006-2009 season.  Subhana ends her career as the all-time leader in total blocks with 258, shattering the previous career record of 136 held by Irena Moore.  Subhana will also end her career as the all-time leader in blocks/set with a 0.65 blocks/set, shattering Irena Moore’s former record of 0.48. 

Congratulations to the senior class for their hard work and success!
