One of the most decorated athletes in Western Kentucky volleyball history, Alyssa Cavanaugh, was named Friday as the 2017-18 Conference USA Michael L. Slive Female Athlete of the Year.
Across her four years at WKU, Cavanaugh racked up eight All-American accolades from three different organizations and set several program records.
"Alyssa had an incredible career and an incredible senior season of both personal and team success. Many times individual awards are a reflection of having great teammates and coaches, and this recognition is very fitting for someone who played a major role in the best four-year stretch in our volleyball program’s history.
