Conaway Named CoSIDA Academic All-District

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State outside hitter Alexis Conaway was named to the Academic All-District 6 Volleyball Team, announced today by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Conaway has handled the transition well, averaging 2.39 kills per set and 1.69 digs per set to go with 1.07 blocks per frame. Conaway's 349 total blocks for her career ranks her No. 7 in Iowa State history.
