Barber nominated for NCAA Woman of the Year Award

Marquette volleyball alumna Allie Barber has been nominated for the 2020 NCAA Woman of the Year Award. She is one of two players in the BIG EAST, along with University of Connecticut field hockey’s Svea Boker, to be chosen for this award.

The NCAA has honored female athletes every year since 1991 through the Woman of the Year Award, which recognizes “the academic achievements, athletics excellence, community service and leadership of graduating female college athletes from all three divisions.”

Barber was a standout in the volleyball program during her four years as a Golden Eagle as a two-time BIG EAST Player of the Year and Marquette’s all-time kills leader.
