Cavanaugh named player-of-the-year

Senior setter Carey Cavanaugh was named the Southern Conference Volleyball Player-of-the-Year at the conference tournament in Greensboro, N.C.
Cavanaugh had an outstanding 2001 season, ranking among the Southern Conference leaders in many categories. She finished the regular season second in the conference in assists (11.57 per game), sixth in hitting percentage (.313) and seventh in digs (3.22 pg). She led the Bucs in all three categories.
For her career, Cavanaugh is one of ETSU’s all-time greats.
She notched her 1,000th assist of the season last Friday night against Davidson, the second time that she has accomplished the feat.
That match also pushed her over 3,000 assists for her career, one of only four players in school history to reach that mark. That number is even more amazing considering the fact that Cavanaugh reached 3,000 in just three seasons, after transferring from Ohio State.
Cavanaugh led the Bucs to a 20-6 record in regular season play, 15-5 in the SoCon.
ETSU had its third consecutive winning season, a feat not accomplished since the team reeled off seven consecutive winning seasons from 1987-1993.
