Sophomore outside hitter Makenzie Cooper of Lincoln was named
to the MWAC All-Conference First Team and was named First Team
All-Region.
Cooper was second on the team in kills for the season with 246
and second in digs (293). She was the Lady Lynx leading server
in points scored (190) and aces (38).
Freshman outside hitter Kaylyn Hoffert, also from Lincoln, was
recognized by the MWAC as an All-Conference Honorable Mention
recipient and made the All-Region second team.
Hoffert's 303 kills led the team and were enough to rank her in
the top 100 kill leaders nationally. Her .303 hitting percentage
ranked #47 in the nation among NJCAA DII hitters.
Cooper and Hoffert helped lead the Lady Lynx to a 22-12 record
in 2016.
LC Coach Mark Tippett: "I am very pleased that these two ladies
were recognized for the contributions they made to our team's
success this season.
"Makenzie has been a two-year starter for us and a player who
made a difference in all phases of the game. She has been one of
our primary passers, a smart hitter, and one of the most
consistent servers on the team.
"Kaylyn was a dominant hitter on the left side for us all year
long. She hits line about as well as any hitter I've coached and
can swing well from anywhere on the court. I look for more great
things to come as she gets stronger and expands her role on the
team next year. I'm very proud of them both.
Cooper plans to major in Radiology Technician Sciences and
Hoffert is a Sports Management major.
