Hibbert’s super season comes to end (Volleyball)
December 2, 2009
The bad news for the University of Utah is that its volleyball team did not qualify for the NCAA Championships, finishing the season with a 17-12 overall record.
The good news for the Utes is that sophomore Sarah Hibbert of Anchorage appears ready to lead them into the future.
Hibbert, of South High fame, enjoyed a breakout year that saw her go from reserve to rock star, starting 27 of 29 matches and playing in all 110 sets, and emerging as an offensive force.
The 6-foot-1 outside hitter attempted a team-high 839 kills, slamming home 262 of them and finishing with 13 double-figure totals. She was most impressive against rival Utah State on Sept. 8 when she delivered a career-high 21 kills.
