Minnesota Golden Gophers senior opposite hitter Stephanie Samedy received a pair of huge honors on Wednesday when she was named a First Team All-American, and the recipient of the Senior CLASS Award for volleyball. Samedy is now a four-time All-American and becomes just the second ever Gopher to win the Senior Class Award.
The Senior CLASS Award is given annually to the most outstanding senior student-athlete in Division I women’s volleyball. The award is chosen by a nationwide vote of Division I women’s volleyball coaches, national volleyball media, and fans. Samedy becomes the second Gopher to win the award after Paige Tapp was honored in 2016.
Stephanie Samedy was terrific over two matches at Purdue last weekend, and the senior hitter had to be that for the Gophers to get a sweep in a pair of five-setters.
On Friday, she had 28 kills and 26 digs, Gophers numbers that had not been reached in combination since Katherine Harms was hammering Washington in an NCAA second-rounder in 2011.
The immediate reward for Samedy was to return to the Twin Cities and enjoy a Sunday when the temperature overnight would reach 15-below. Back in her hometown of Clermont, Fla., it was in the 80s. You re probably used to the cold by now, a reporter said Wednesday in a phone conversation.
