1st Team All-American

Kinga Michalska | Sophomore | Outside Hitter | Szówsko, Poland

Michalska left a legacy at Indian Hills following a standout career that resulted in back-to-back trips to the national tournament. During the outside hitter's sophomore campaign, Michalska ranked second in the nation in total kills with 581 on the year, the third-most in a single season in school history.

"As soon as we arrived home last year from the national tournament, Kinga and I had a conversation about the plans I had in mind for her this year," stated head coach Lyndsey Michel. "It included being a six-rotation outside hitter and getting her some all-American honors and that's exactly what we did. Her leadership on the court this year came with a little more vocal contributions than it did last year, but will always be considered my silent killer and quiet leader."

Michalska, who was named the NJCAA Region 11 Player of the Year, eclipsed the 1,000 career kill mark at the national tournament, finishing her two-year run in Ottumwa with 1,010 kills, the fifth-most in program history. Michalska is just the fourth individual in school history to lead the Warriors in kills ini back-to-back seasons.

The sophomore finished the season with a .315 hitting percentage, the 17th best mark in the NJCAA. Michalska tallied.

A three-time Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) DI Volleyball Athlete of the Week, Michalska was also named to the NJCAA Region 11 First-Team and was selected to the NJCAA All-Tournament team after collecting 67 kills in four matches to lead the Warriors to the top-10 finish, just the fourth in school history.

Michalska is the seventh NJCAA All-America First-Team selection in school history.
