RIVERSIDE, Calif. – For the fifth season in a row, California Baptist University produced the PacWest Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year in Lauren Hackett on Tuesday.
It ends a great career and senior season for Hackett, a graphic design major who maintained over a 3.8 cumulative grade-point average. The PacWest Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards recognize one student-athlete from each of the PacWest's 15 sponsored sports for their academic and athletic achievements during the year.
The honorees were selected in a vote by the PacWest sports information directors. Each of the winners are now eligible for the PacWest Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards, which will be announced on Wednesday.
Hackett was named the 2017 Player of the Year in the PacWest and NCAA Division II West Region by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. She was a two-time All-American, first-team pick in the West Region and also voted an Academic All-American for the second year in a row by the College Sports Information Directors of America this season.
As a senior, Hackett posted 457 points (4.62 a set), with 384 kills (3.88 a set) on a .271 percentage, 60 blocks and 35 aces.
