An All-WCC first-team selection for three straight seasons, Kealani Kimball (2000-03) completed regular season play in 2003 as a leader in several WCC categories: digs (4th), kills (6th), service aces (12th), and hitting percentage (23rd). She is just the fourth Lion to surpass both the 1000 kill and the 1000 dig milestone.
Tiana Newsome (2000-03) completed her four seasons owning almost every LMU all-time blocking category, as she was the career leader in solo blocks, block assists, and total blocks. A 2002 first-team All-WCC honoree, Newsome averaged a team-high 1.44 blocks per game, which was second in the WCC and tied for 18th in the nation.
One of only two freshmen to be named to the AVCA All-Region team in 2000, Nicole Oehlman (2000-04) earned second-team AllWCC honors that season as well. Her 13.41 assist per game average ranked her 25th in the nation and second in the WCC. Oehlman went on to earn All-WCC honorable mention recognition in each of her next three seasons.
