Kenidi McCabe (Sr., L, Decorah, Iowa) finished her outstanding senior season with a Third Team All-America selection to go with her AVCA All-Region First Team, All-Region Libero of the Year, CCAC Libero of the Year, and CCAC First Team awards. McCabe recorded 653 digs (5.18/set), leading the CCAC and ranked 16th in the NAIA.
