PORTLAND, Ore. - The GNAC released its preseason all-conference team on Friday, and the coaches selected Northwest Nazarene's
Natalie Sullivan to be a member of the squad heading into the 2022 season.
Sullivan was a First Team All-GNAC pick a year ago, the only Nighthawks player to earn all-conference recognition.
Last season, Sullivan led NNU with 3.66 kills per set while amassing a .188 hitting percentage. She also recorded 2.77 digs and 0.23 aces per set. Sullivan finished with 20 or more kills in six matches, paced by her 29 against Simon Fraser on Sept. 23.
Sullivan and the Nighthawks, just picked
seventh in the GNAC Preseason Poll on Wednesday, will look to open their season strong as they kick off 2022 with a three-day, five-team, 10-game tournament at home from Aug. 25-27.
