Leverette Named AVCA Honorable Mention All-American
December 18, 2024 | Women's Volleyball
LOS ANGELES โ Junior outside hitter Cheridyn Leverette of UCLA women's volleyball rounds out her impressive list of accolades with AVCA Division I Honorable Mention All-American acclaim, announced Wednesday morning.
Leverette receives All-America recognition for the first time in her career after enjoying breakout junior campaign that saw her finish sixth in the Big Ten for kills-per-set (4.14) and eighth in total kills (435), earning her First Team All-Big Ten recognition. UCLA has now produced All-Americans in back-to-back seasons after Anna Dodson was named to the honorable mention list following the 2023 season.
The Hampton, Ga. native tallied 20 or more kills on three occasions, including a career-high 29 kills at nationally-ranked Purdue on Oct. 17. This performance marks the highest kill tally by a Bruin since Mac May's 39-kill showing at Washington State on Oct. 3, 2021.
Leverette led UCLA in five different categories including points (464.0), points-per-set (4.42), kills (435), kills-per-set (4.14), and total attempts (1,100). She enjoyed an extraordinary run of 20 consecutive contests with double-digit kills from Aug. 30 to Nov. 2, becoming just the fifth Bruin in the 25-point rally scoring era (2008-present) to achieve that feat. Leverette reached double figures in 28 of the 29 matches she appeared in during the 2024 season.
Her most efficient attacking display came in a 15-kill showing versus LIU, hitting .500 for the contest. In the season finale against Oregon, Leverette put down 23 kills in another excellent performance.
