 Akre is coming off an impressive prep career at Newark High School.
She was one of the most decorated competitors in Newark volleyball
history as she leaves the program being ranked in the top five of
six different career statistical categories. As a senior, she was
able to lead her team to a very impressive 29-5 record, losing in
sectional play to the eventual 1A state champion, Keith Country Day.
During her senior year, Akre posted impressive statistics, including
247 kills, 60 serving aces and 290 digs, while also earning
recognition as The Times Volleyball Player of the Year.LCU head
coach Dave Donnelly had this to say about the signing: "Abbey's name
came up as somebody we really needed to take a look at. So I went
over to Newark, met her, talked with her, saw her play, and needless
to say, I was very impressed. She's a great all-around individual,
an excellent student, fabulous player, just the kind of person we
like to have in our program. We're glad to have her."
