Gentele's season statistics tell the story of a complete player who impacted every aspect of the game. She led the team with 238 kills while maintaining an impressive 2.19 attack percentage. Her defensive prowess was equally remarkable, recording 160 digs and 46 total blocks. She also contributed 19 assists and 24 ace serves, showcasing her well-rounded skill set.

"Aspen being voted as Player of the Year speaks volumes to the type of player she is, which is why I am not surprised that she received this honor," Smith said. "With her play, she made it difficult for teams to defend our other players because so much attention was directed to her. There isn't anything she can't do on the floor. I'm glad she was in red/black. We wish her the absolute best as she continues her volleyball career at the next level!"

Congratulations to Aspen Gentele on this well-deserved honor and best of luck as she takes her talents to the next level of competition.
