TERRE HAUTE, IND. ? Indiana State senior Kristy Cox (Muncie, Ind.) was honored prior to the start of the Indiana State-Wichita State Missouri Valley Conference volleyball game last Friday for becoming the all-time leader in digs at Indiana State University.
Sycamore head volleyball coach Traci Dahl and Assistant Athletics Director and Senior Women's Administration Angie Lansing presented Cox with a special volleyball marking her accomplishment in a pre-game ceremony.
Cox currently has 1,785 digs with five matches remaining in the 2008 regular season. She surpassed Cheryl Berg, who had 1,713 digs from 1998-2001, with a 16 dig effort at Bradley on Oct. 25, 2008.
The senior out of Delta High School also had three of the top 10 regular season dig records at Indiana State. Cox has the second best season total of 523 set in 2006, the third best total with 489 during the current 2008 season, and the seventh best total of 428 set during the 2007 season.
Cox also has 10 of the top 20 single game dig marks including a career high 37 in a match against Oakland on Sept. 8, 2006. She has topped the 30-dig mark four times in her career, three of them this season.
