Chloe Smith Named Capital One/Southland Conference Volleyball Student-Athlete of the Year

Central Arkansas sophomore middle blocker Chloe Smith was named the Capital One/Southland Conference Volleyball Student-Athlete of the Year, the league office announced Thursday in conjunction with the release of the All-Academic Volleyball Teams.

The 2008 Player of the Year, Smith is the first UCA student-athlete to claim both awards.

A native of San Diego, Calif., Smith maintains a 4.0 grade-point average in UCA’s Honors College in digital filmmaking. She led the Sugar Bears to a first-place finish in the East Division and their best conference record (12-4) since joining the Southland in 2006. Smith led UCA in total kills (379) and blocks (80). In conference, she ranked fifth in hitting percentage (.323), third in kills (3.35) and second in service aces per set (0.43). Her 379 kills rank second overall.

Congrats to her!

Just think...she is only a Sophomore!

Congrats to Chloe! She is such a fun person to hang out with, and even better to watch. It is neat to see her dominate the net and know her as more than athlete.

Congratulations to both Chloe and Robyn for their selections! It's great to see our Sugar Bears get recognition for hard work and success, both athletically and academically.

Well done ladies.

Excellent selection...congrats to Chloe and SBs......if you have not seen SB volleyball you are missing exciting action....
