Senior Kailee Itzenhuiser Tabbed by AVCA with All-American Honorable Mention Honors

Kailee Itzenhuiser's career at Millikin has been riddled with accomplishments. The senior hailing from Naperville, Ill. garnered back-to-back-to-back College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin First Team All-Conference honors as a sophomore, junior, and a senior, earned American Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-Region Honors, then took it a step further this season, being named a First Team All-Region player in Region VIII last week by the AVCA.

The American Volleyball Coaches Association released the names of their All-American selections on Wednesday, November 27 with Itzenhuiser earning a place on the list as an Honorable Mention selection.

After helping lead the Big Blue to a 31-6 record in the 2024 season and to only their second NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen match in program history, the honor comes as no surprise.

Itzenhuiser led the squad in kills this season with 437 total to account for 3.64 kills per set. She tacked on 49 service aces, the second most digs on the team with 468 to average 3.90 per set, a .953 reception efficiency in 703 attempts, and 44.0 total blocks.

The elementary education and special education major surpassed the 1,000 kills mark in her career early in the 2024 season to total 1,336 in her four years at Millikin, and she encompassed the 1,000 digs mark last season to total 1,720 in her career. She ranks fourth all-time in Millikin history for career digs and third in career service aces with 232.
