Hall of Fame
Kelly Smith was a key piece of the volleyball program's successful run atop the Mid-Continent Conference in the 1990s. She earned All-Conference honors in each of her four seasons, including First Team recognition three times, and was the Mid-Con Newcomer of the Year in 1995. Smith helped Valpo claim three Mid-Con regular season titles and a pair of Mid-Con tournament championships in 1995 and 1996 — the program advanced to the NCAA Tournament play-in match both years. Smith closed her career second in program history in total blocks, third in hitting percentage and solo blocks, and fourth in kills — she still ranks sixth all-time in solo blocks, eighth in total blocks, ninth in hitting percentage, and 11th in kills. She also set the then single-season record for hitting percentage as a senior in 1998 and ranks fifth in that category today.
