Florida International University senior Katie Hogan has earned 2016 Conference USA Volleyball All-Conference second-team honors, the school announced.
The All-Conference honor is the first for Hogan, who is considered the powerhouse of the Panthers in her final season.
She recorded 329 kills, 384 points, 882 attacks and 10 double-doubles.
Hogan also posted the sixth-highest hitting percentage among C-USA leaders this season with a 3.63 mark.
During her final year at FIU, Hogan surpassed her previous totals in almost every statistical category.
As a junior, Hogan posted 205 kills, 262 points, 618 attacks and 98 digs, finishing third on the team for kills with 2.1l per set as compared to 2016’s 3.23.
Hogan, a Missouri native, was a huge asset to this year's lineup. Her aggressive play helped FIU to battle against the competitive C-USA programs this season. She continued to raise the bar and broke several of her season highs in multiple matches this year, posting an impressive 30.5 points against Middle Tennessee on November 10. She contributed 25 kills in 48 attempts.
“Katie is one of the best all-around players that I've coached,” said FIU head coach Rita Buck-Crockett. “She is a team player and also really put her heart into the team itself and it showed by her being one of top hitters in Conference USA. We appreciate everything she has done for the indoor program and we look forward to her bringing the beach program to Nationals again this year.”
Hogan looks to continue her success on the sand in the upcoming beach season. The Panthers will take the sand courts on March 2, 2017 in the FAU tournament against the host Owls in Boca Raton.
