NKU senior named Academic All-District IV

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Northern Kentucky University volleyball player Kristin Koralewski has been selected to the 2004 Academic All-District IV third team by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

Koralewski, a senior outside hitter and a native of Muskego, Wis., is a sports marketing/management major with a 3.57 grade point average. She has led NKU to a 21-8 record, and the Norse will compete in the opening round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament at Evansville, Ind., at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Koralewski enters the GLVC Tournament with 1,460 career kills, which ranks sixth in Norse history. She leads the GLVC in kills (5.04 kpg) and hitting percentage (.390). Koralewski also has 534 total kills and is 67 shy of breaking Bethany Gastright’s single-season NKU record of 600, set during the 2000 campaign.

A year ago, Koralewski earned NCAA Division II first team All-America honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association. She also was named GLVC Player of the Year in 2003.
