The purpose of this award is to honor the outstanding women’s volleyball player selected annually from Division I NCCAA member institutions.

Susan R. Hellings played volleyball in the mid 1970’s at Houghton College.  She was a starting hitter for her championship team.  Susan exemplified Christian leadership on the court, not allowing anything to stand in the way of team unity.  She was an excellent student as demonstrated by being her high school valedictorian, and graduating Summa Cum Laude from college with a B.A. in mathematics.  Susan is the mother of two boys.  She and her husband, Richard, host Bible studies in their home and are active in their local church. Susan was the type of student-athlete that exemplified all the characteristics that this award is intended to honor.
