ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME
|
Former two time 49er All-American volleyball
player Danielle Scott, who lead The Beach to its second national championship
in 1993, is our final athlete to be featured as part of the 49er Athletic
Hall of Fame, 1999 class.
Scott was chosen as the AVCA Player of
the year in 1993 and holds school records for block assists (470) and hitting
percentage (.421).
She also set a single-season record for
attack ratio at .452 percent in 1992.
"My four years at Long Beach State went
really great," Scott said. "I was surrounded by a lot of great people who
were really supportive."
Scott even tried her skills at track
and field during her senior year, where she missed making the all-conference
team in the long jump event by one inch.
Scott is the ninth women's volleyball player
to be inducted into the 49er Athletic Hall of Fame and the third player
who has played under current LBSU Head Coach Brian Gimmillaro.
Currently Scott is playing professionally
in Brazil and is expected to be a member of the U.S. Olympic team in 2000. |
