Whitney Brigham was voted the CCC's Player of the Year and the Defensive/Libero of the Year.
C of I's Brigham Named CCC Player of Year
PORTLAND, Ore. – College of Idaho’s Whitney Brigham may have changed her last name in the off-season, but even marriage could not change her level of play on the court, as the senior defensive specialist/libero claimed this year’s Cascade Collegiate Conference Player of the Year honor, the league office announced.
Known for being a player on the floor that an opposing attacker just could not hit toward, Brigham was also named the CCC’s Defensive Specialist/Libero of the Year for the third consecutive year. The Caldwell, Idaho native averaged 6.2 digs per set during the regular season.
Eastern Oregon’s Rebecca Haight picked up the league’s Newcomer of the Year of the Year award. Haight, a junior outside hitter from Longview, Wash., finished the regular-season third in the conference with a .318 hitting percentage and third in kills per set with 3.13.
Coach of the Year honors went to Eastern Oregon’s Kaki Morehead. After a year and half absence, Morehead returned to the helm of the Mountaineers after the tragic death of EOU head coach Hailey Pearce during the summer. Morehead led the Mountaineers to a 15-3 conference mark and a third-place finish in the CCC.
