The North Greenville Lady Crusaders volleyball team played a hard-fought season and came away with an 11-24 overall record and a loss in the first round of the regional tournament.

There were several leaders on the team this season, including Kaitlyn Pierce, sophomore undecided, Kaitlyn Harris, sophomore sport management, Kayla O’ Kelley, sophomore health promotion and wellness, and Gabbrielle McKinley, senior elementary education.

The Lady Crusaders had four players on the NCCAA All-Region team, including two first team selections in O’ Kelly and Charlotte Swain, junior. McKinley was a second team All-Region selection, and Harris was an honorable mention.

Harris also was named to the all-tournament team along with freshman standout Sara Beth White, freshman mathematics education, who had 15 kills in North Greenville’s match against Southeastern in the NCCAA regional tournament.

“The ladies had their ups and downs, but they still managed to play with integrity and with lots of intensity throughout the 2009 season,” said head coach Lauren Axson. “I am exceptionally proud of these ladies. They gave it their all.”
