NCCAA Names Grace College’s Rachel Bult as Susan R. Hellings Award Recipient

 

 

Senior setter Rachel Bult has been a major player for Grace College (IN) for the past four years.  She is a two-time NCCAA Scholar-Athlete, two-time 2nd team All-Conference player, currently 2nd on the all-time career assists leader for Grace College with over 1486 assists, and has served as team captain for 3 years.  She also led her team to the semi-finals of the 2011 NCCAA National Volleyball Championships in Kissimmee, Florida. 

 

Coach Andria Harshman says, “Rachel is deeply in love with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  She came to college four years ago with a passion for Christ, however over the past four years I have had the opportunity to see that faith grow and mature into the young woman she is today.  It was through the tragic death of a teammate last year when Rachel rose to the top.  As team captain, she was forced to help keep the team moving and she and others on the team were great examples of how to stay together as a team.  She cried many tears with all of us, but each game she suited up and played, she practiced hard, and eventually helped her team through the loss.  Rachel helped all of us understand that we need to play each day like it is our last, and cherish every moment we have together.  She is a great team leader, one that all coaches would want on their teams!”

 

The Susan R. Hellings award is given annually to honor the outstanding woman’s volleyball player that best exemplifies the mission of the NCCAA.  The recipient must be a junior or senior that combines athletics, academics, leadership, and have a clear Christian testimony. 

 

The NCCAA Division I Volleyball selection committee is proud to honor Rachel Bult with the 2011 NCCAA Susan R. Hellings Award.   

 

Headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, the NCCAA strives to promote the gospel of Jesus Christ through its 22 National Championships and 3 National Invitationals.  For more information on the NCCAA and the awards presented, contact the NCCAA National Office at (864) 250-1199 or visit www.thenccaa.org
