 DeBeer Honored by DI Volleyball

If you are a Louisville volleyball fan, we really don't need to tell you what Anna DeBeer has meant to Louisville Volleyball since she arrived on campus for the 2020 season. A product of the successful programs out of Louisville Assumption High School, DeBeer was named ACC Freshman of the year and made the AVCA All-Region First Team. 

But, there is a different side to DeBeer...one that doesn't get nearly enough recognition...and that is the academic side.  She graduated with a 3.92 GPA in health and human performance exercise science. 

She also made the first team all AVCA squad last year.  last season. As she works toward her Masters of Business Administration, she leaves her career on the college court behind as possibly one of the best ever volleyballers to don a UofL uniform. 

She was also drafted by the Indy Ignite squad in the PVF -- Professional volleyball Federation. She's still out of competition, recovering from the effects of her ankle injury in the 2024 Division I National Semifinal match against Pittsburgh.

On the Indy squad with her is teammate/libero Elena Scott, who played at Louisville with DeBeer for  several years. 

We have no doubt that once DeBeer recovers from the ankle injury, she going to do great things in the PVF, and you can be assured that the Cardinal Couple crew will be following her career and reporting on her successes here. We'll miss her on the Cardinals court, but know she's on her way to greater things. 

The Ignite was successful in their first outing of the season, defeating Orlando 3-1 in the Fishers Event Center,. They return to the center Thursday night to face Grand Rapids.
