Injury serves sophomore new perspective

One of the most anticipated aspects of the 2016 volleyball season was supposed to be the return of phenomenon sophomore Brookah Palmer. A shoulder injury changed all that.

The Carrollton, Texas native was named to the All-American Athletic Conference First Team after a freshman season where she started in all 32 matches and recorded 502 kills, 301 digs and 24 blocks.

Palmer was twice named the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week while leading the conference in kills per set (4.15), total points (582) and aces (50). Her 50 aces tied her for 16th nationally and sixth-most in school history for a single season.
