Kacie Hyatt Senior Day Script:

During Kacie's four years, Greensboro College has a 42-24 record in the conference with one second place and two third place finishes. Her name is all over the GC record book. She holds the record for kills in a season with 562, total attempts in a season with 1456. She is one of only six GC players to have 30 kills in a match when she recorded 31 vs SUNY Oneonta. She is #1 for her career for total attempts and #3 for career kills. Kacie received the NCCSIA All State Team in 08, was USAS First Team All Conference in 07 and 08, USAS All Tournament in 07, USAS Sportsmanship Team in 07, and MVP in 07 and 08. This year Kacie leads the team in three categories.

Coach Lojko says, "Kacie is one of the most aggressive hitters we have ever had at GC. She always wants the ball and calls for it every play. I'm really sorry that she was hurt this year, since she had such a tremendous season last year. There is no one that I have coached that has put more into making herself and GC Volleyball great, than Kacie. Off court, Kacie is one of the nicest people you will meet. We will never be able to replace what she brings to our program".
