5 PLAYER NOTES Alyssa Garvelink headlined four Spartans who earned All-Big Ten Honors on Tuesday afternoon. Garvelink earned First Team accolades, juniors Rachel Minarick and Autumn Bailey were Honorable Mention selections, and Allyssah Fitterer was the team s Sportsmanship Award honoree. Michigan State claimed three spots on the All-Big Ten teams for the first time since 2013, when Lauren Wicinski (First Team), Kori Moster, and Alexis Mathews earned Conference accolades. Garvelink s First Team selection was the first-ever Conference postseason honor for the junior middle. Minarick was a Big Ten All-Freshman team selection and an Honorable Mention AVCA All-America in Bailey was the 2013 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year and the 2014 Player of the Year, and also earned Honorable Mention All-America honors in 2014, all at Marquette. Garvelink ranks second in the Big Ten and 14th nationally in blocks per set (1.44). Her current 156 blocks on the season is 10th all-time in the single-season annals for the Spartans, while her 139 block assists is seventh. Averaging 2.44 kills per set, Garvelink is hitting.357, which is good for sixth in the Conference and 56th among Division I players. Garvelink s 399 career blocks puts her in ninth place in the all-time record book, while her 356 block assists is sixth. Garvelink s current 1.17 career blocks per set average ranks sixth in the MSU career annals. Garvelink s 1.44 blocks per set on the season (her career best) ranks seventh in a single-season at MSU. Her.357 hitting percentage is also her career best. In her first two collegiate seasons, Garvelink hit.244 and averaged 2.15 kills and 1.05 blocks per frame. Garvelink led MSU in blocking in 24 of 32 matches. She owned the team s highest hitting percentage 13 times (and in each of the last five matches). Over the last seven matches, she has averaged 2.12 blocks per frame. Garvelink established a new career best with 10 block assists vs. Illinois on Nov. 5. That tied the school record for most block assists in a three-set match, most recently accomplished by Alexis Mathews on Nov. 24, 2010 vs. Michigan. Rachel Minarick tied her career best with 55 assists on Nov. 18 at No. 2 Minnesota, a mark she originally set in September of her freshman season at Oregon State. She added 11 digs in the match for her fifth double-double of the season. Four of her five double-doubles this season have come on the road. Minarick is averaging assists per set on the season, which ranks eighth in the Big Ten. It is also her career-best average. Minarick is the seventh setter in school history to surpass 3,000 career assists. Her current total of 3,323 career assists ranks sixth all-time in the MSU record book, one spot ahead of current assistant coach Kristen Kelsay (3,040, seventh). Minarick s career average of 9.89 assists per frame is eighth in the Spartan record book.

Minarick s honor is the 16th Academic All-District honor for the Spartan volleyball program, and she is just the fifth in program history to be named to the First Team. She joins Dana Cooke (1995, 1996), Val Sterk (1996), Michelle Kopka (2003) and current assistant coach Kristen Kelsay (2013) to take First Team honors and advance to the national ballot. Cooke, Sterk, Jenilee Rathje (2011) and Kelsay all earned spots on the Academic All-America team. Minarick, a 2014 Honorable Mention AVCA All-America selection and 2015 Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, holds a 3.95 cumulative grade point average as a kinesiology major. The Academic All-America team is scheduled for release on Dec. 5. Autumn Bailey leads MSU with 3.15 kills per set, which is 10th among Big Ten leaders. She has been MSU s top kill producer in 14 of 32 matches this season, and owns 17 double-digit kill performances. Bailey ranks second on the team with 2.70 digs per set, behind libero Abby Monson.

Allyssah Fitterer is hitting.361 on the season, averaging 2.10 kills per frame and 0.73 blocks per set. She is fifth in the Big Ten and 46th nationally in hitting percentage. Fitterer became the 22nd Spartan to surpass 1,000 career kills, getting that termination early in the first set vs. Michigan. Chloe Reinig accomplished the feat earlier this season against Morgan State, and was the first Spartan to 1,000 kills since Lauren Wicinski in Fitterer s junior season saw her hit a then-career-best.301, but through 32 matches she is 46th in the nation with a.361 hitting percentage. Fitterer s career hitting percentage was.277 entering her final collegiate campaign. Both Fitterer and Garvelink have hitting percentages that would rank among MSU s top single-season performances. Fitterer s.361 would rank sixth, and Garvelink s.359 would be seventh. Only one time in school history has a pair of teammates had top-10 single-season hitting performances in the same season - in 2001, both Erin Hartley and Angela Morely hit.337, which is tied for 10th in a single season in the MSU annals. Chloe Reinig has been the Spartans kill leader in 11 of 32 matches, and has 14 double-digit kill performances. Reinig is averaging 2.72 kills and 0.91 blocks per set, which is second on the team in both categories. She is also contributing 0.62 digs. She has led MSU in kills in four of the last six matches. In Big Ten matches only, Reinig averaged 1.00 blocks (12th, B1G) and 2.57 kills per set, both of which are second among MSU players. Michigan State has four athletes ranked among the top 15 in the Big Ten in service aces per set: Brooke Kranda (first, 0.59), Holly Toliver (second, 0.37), Rachel Minarick (fifth, 0.33), and Bailey (12th, 0.28). Kranda is sixth nationally. Kranda had 17 kills and seven digs, adding five blocks in the season finale at Iowa - all season bests. Her seven digs and five blocks were both career bests - the previous high for the 6-6 Kranda in a match was five digs - which she tied earlier in the week in the match at Michigan. Kranda broke a 30-year old school record with nine service aces against Purdue on Oct. 29, a new MSU best in a four-set match. It was the second-most service aces in a Big Ten match all-time, and the first time since 1992 (and the fourth time overall) that a player recorded nine aces in a B1G contest. It is also the second-most service aces in a match this season in Division I volleyball. Abby Monson has started all 32 matches at libero this season, and has improved her average to 3.44 digs per frame, good for 11th in the Big Ten. She set a new career best with 25 digs last Saturday at Iowa, the second time she s been over 20 this season. Monson has had double-digit digs in eight of MSU s last nine matches. In that stretch, she has averaged 4.35 digs per set and 1.0 assists per frame. Holly Toliver is second in the Big Ten in service aces per set (0.37) and averages 1.32 kills and 0.23 blocks per frame. She averages 1.96 digs per set, nearly double her career best coming into the season. Toliver, who dealt with several injuries in her first two seasons that limited her court time, is now one of two players to appear in 108 of 109 sets, sharing the team lead with libero Abby Monson. facebook.com/michiganstatevb MichStVB 5
