Myers Crowned AVCA Region Player of the Year

Published

on


MANHATTAN, Kan. – Senior Shaylee Myers became the first K-State player to be named AVCA Region Player of the Year, while senior Ava LeGrand joined Myers on the All-Central Region First Team, the organization announced Tuesday.
 
K-State was one of six Big 12 programs to land multiple players on the All-Region teams, as Myers and LeGrand each earned AVCA All-Region recognition for the first time in their careers. Myers was the only player from the conference to receive Player of the Year honors, while BYU’s Suli Davis collected West Region Freshman of the Year accolades.
 
Under third-year head coach Jason Mansfield, five players have combined for six All-Region honors. In total, K-State has now produced 43 All-Region selections in the program’s 52-year history.

A unanimous All-Big 12 First Team honoree, Myers capped a historic senior campaign with 498 kills (4.70 per set) and 547.0 points (5.16 per set), rewriting the K-State record book along the way.

 

Her 4.70 kills per set shattered the rally-scoring era single-season average, surpassing Liz Wegner-Busch’s 4.49 mark from 2001. Her 498 total kills tied for third in the rally-scoring era and seventh all-time in program history. She also delivered the Big 12’s top single-match performance of the year with a school-record 34 kills against West Virginia on October 1.

 

The Lincoln, Nebraska, native reached another milestone in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, recording her 1,000th career kill with her ninth of the night to become just the 20th player in program history to join the club. She finished her career with 1,029 kills (3.20 per set), ranking ninth in the rally-scoring era and 19th all-time at K-State. Myers’ career kills-per-set mark stands seventh in the rally-scoring era, while her 1,148.5 career points rank 23rd in school history.

 

LeGrand, a Papillion, Nebraska, native, earned All-Region honors after delivering a breakout season marked by career highs across nearly every statistical category. She totaled 1,063 assists, 337 digs, 87 kills, 78 blocks and team-high 32 service aces. LeGrand’s 995 regular-season assists ranked sixth in the Big 12, while her 10.15 assists per set stood third in the league and 37th nationally.

 

She surpassed the 1,000-assist milestone for the first time in her career during Friday’s NCAA Tournament opener against USD. LeGrand also posted a team-leading 17 double-doubles, becoming just the ninth player in program history to reach the mark in a single season. She concludes her Wildcat career with 1,333 assists, 473 digs, 96 kills, 39 aces and 93 total blocks.

 

K-State’s season (18-10, 10-8 Big 12) concluded at the 2025 NCAA Division I Volleyball Championship after earning an at-large bid into the postseason. The Wildcats fell in three sets to No. 1 Nebraska in their 12th appearance in the second round, marking the program’s 19th all-time NCAA Tournament showing and first under Mansfield.
