Kaitlynn Vought ended her volleyball career competing at the highest level and accumulated a lifetime of memories in the process.
Vought, a 2013 Humboldt High School graduate, closed out her collegiate career when her Southern Nazarene University squad lost to top-ranked and eventual national champion Concordia-St. Paul in the NCAA Div. II nationals on Dec. 1 in St. Paul, MN.
The Crimson Storm fell in three sets by scores of 25-14, 25-19 and 25-12. SNU, seeded No. 8 in the central region bracket of play, ended its season with an overall record of 20-11.
The 6-foot-1 Vought played in all three sets and finished with one kill, four digs and three blocking assists.
For Vought, who graduates from SNU in May with a degree in exercise science and a minor in chemistry, it marks an end of a long commitment to volleyball.
“It hasn’t really sunk in yet that my volleyball career is over, to be honest,” Vought told the Independent earlier this week.
