By Calvin Sports Information Student Assistant Mark DeHaan
Over the last four years, the key for opposing teams to beat Calvin has to be to stop senior middle hitter Rebecca Kamp. Unfortunately for opposing teams, Kamp was nearly unstoppable for the Knights this season and throughout her career. This fall she averaged 3.85 kills and 1.37 blocks-per-set along with a .401 hitting percentage while leading the Knights to 33-1 overall record. She completed her career as Calvin’s all-time leader in kills and total blocks while also establishing a Calvin single-season record for hitting percentage. Kamp is a three-time member of the MIAA Academic Honor Roll, a three-time selection for the CoSIDA Academic All-District team, and a 2009 selection for the CoSIDA First Team Academic All-American team. She is currently eligible for 2011 CoSIDA Academic All-America honors once again.
