September 07, 2020 | Volleyball
Bowling Green, Ohio -- For a week, we asked our fans to vote for their favorite student-athletes of the past 20 years. Throughout the month of September, we will reveal one selection at a time each weekday over a five-week stretch. Today, we highlight your No. 20 choice for the top student-athlete of the past 20 years, volleyball player Kallie Seimet!
20. Kallie Seimet (2015 - 2018)
A record-setting libero and an enthusiastic leader, no one in volleyball had an infectious smile quite like Kallie Seimet.
Seimet became BGSU's all-time leader in digs with 2,365 in 2018, as she went on to become the first player in Mid-American Conference History to be named back-to-back MAC Player of the Year and MAC Defensive Player of the Year. This came a year after becoming the first libero in league history to win MAC Player of the Year in 2017, during which she set multiple BGSU program records, including most digs in a match (45), most digs in a season (790), best digs per set average (6.81), and most MAC Player of the Week awards by a single player in a single season (seven). Her digs per set average of 6.81 was tops in the nation, with her 790 total digs being good for second.
Seimet also led BGSU in digs during her freshman campaign in 2015, recording 491 overall on the season, with an average of 4.38 digs per set.
She was also named to the Academic All-MAC Team in 2017 and 2018.
