2011 Volleyball

HENDERSON, Tenn. - Before the 2011 season began, only three players in the history of Freed-Hardeman volleyball had amassed 1000 career kills.

Now that list has almost doubled.

Junior Fernanda Ferreira became the second player this season to record 1000 career kills, reaching the milestone during FHU's win over Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) University at the Boneyard Brawl in Georgetown, Ky., on Oct. 28.

Ferreira's kill in third set of the sweep over ONU made her the fifth player in FHU history to reach the 1000-kill plateau.  Earlier this season, Sydney Rice also accomplished the feat.

A two-time TranSouth Conference Player of the Week selection this season, Ferreira leads the team in kills (310) and kills per set (3.1).

In addition to Rice, Ferreira joins Renata Pedreira, Karina Souza and Randal Prince in the 1000 kill club.
