ST. PAUL, Minn. – The University of SIoux Falls' Sadie Voss was voted by the league coaches as the NSIC Outstanding Senior of the Year for volleyball. A native of Lakefield, Minnesota and Jackson County Central graduate, Voss is majoring in business administration and holds a 3.80 grade point average. She was presented the award prior to the NSIC Volleyball Tournament semifinal, which is being played at the Gangelhoff Center on the campus of Concordia University, St. Paul.  
 
The “NSIC Outstanding Senior of the Year Award” is presented to a NSIC volleyball student-athlete who participates at their institution for four years and is academically superior while making a positive contribution to their team and the University. The NSIC Outstanding Senior of the Year award was initiated in 2021 to honor an outstanding senior that exemplifies the attributes of the model NSIC student-athlete.
 
Voss is a four-time All-NSIC performer, including first team the past two seasons.  She was named the 2022 NSIC Freshman of the Year and has helped lead the Cougars to four straight NSIC Tournament appearances. She is the first player in USF history to record over 1000 career kills and 1000 career digs and is the USF's all-time kills leader with over 1,300 in her career.

In the classroom, Voss is an NSIC Fall All-Academic Team of Excellence member, a College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team member, and a DII Athletic Directors Association Academic Achievement Award winner.  She graduated in three years and is currently pursuing a Master's in Business Administration.
 
Voss have worked as a volleyball coach for Kairos Volleyball Club, volunteered for "Empowering You to Be (EmBe)", a local non-profit organization specializing in advocacy for women and girls, and has been a recess monitor at Laura B. Anderson Elementary School.  She has also volunteered as an elderly companion at Touchmark All Saints Retirement Home.

“Our demands on Sadie have been incredibly high for a very long time. It is my opinion that Sadie carries more of the load for her team than any other individual player in the league. For the first time in program history, Sadie led USF Volleyball to three consecutive NSIC tournaments and almost single-handedly changed the public narrative about our program. She is an excellent student who graduated early and began her MBA in her fourth year of college. She is a humble and unassuming person of the highest moral and ethical character who competes with a fervor far beyond her modest stature. I believe that Sadie has exceeded expectations to a greater extent than any other player in the NSIC,” said Sioux Falls Head Coach Dan Mathews.
