FORT WORTH, Texas – After an outstanding season in which she led the Lady Rams to a 22-12 overall record and a birth in the NAIA Region VI tournament, senior outside hitter Leighann Krey was selected by NAIA voters as a 2002 honorable mention All-American.

Krey, who hails from Springtown, paced the Lady Rams offensively with 357 kills during the season, despite missing seven games due to injury. She ranked third in the Red River Athletic Conference with 3.92 kills per game, and also ranked in the top 20 in hitting percentage at .290. In addition to her powerful offense, she recorded 51 blocks (21 solo, 60 assisted) for the year, tallied 254 digs, and served 29 aces.

Krey, also named to the Conference first-team and NAIA Region VI first-team, was honored as the Red River Conference player of the week three times during the regular season. Only she and NAIA National Player of the Year Elele Ekadeli of Houston Baptist University were named player of the week more than once.

“Leighann has always been a great player,” said head coach Rick Johansen. “We have felt fortunate to have her here at Wesleyan for the past five years. She has always been a good leader, loyal to our program, and a great competitor. Although we will try, it will be very difficult to replace her. She is very deserving of this honor.”
