OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton Volleyball setter Kendra Wait has been named a Second Team Academic All-American, as chosen by College Sports Communicators.

The 2022 Academic All-America® Volleyball Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators (formerly known as CoSIDA), recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field or court and in the classroom.

Creighton is one of six schools with a Women's Volleyball Academic All-American in each of the past two seasons, joining Arizona State, Pittsburgh, Texas, Texas Tech and UCF, but CU and UCF are the only two schools with different honorees each season. Last fall Creighton's Abby Bottomley was named a First Team Academic All-American.

A sophomore from Gardner, Kan., Wait led the BIG EAST with 11.13 assists per set, good for 13th-best nationally. Directing an offense that ranked eighth nationally in kills per set, she was the nation's only player to average at least 11.00 assists and 3.00 digs per set in 2022. Wait is a two-time All-BIG EAST, All-East Region and Honorable Mention All-America choice. She was named All-Tournament Team at three different events this fall.

Wait is the seventh different player in program history to be named an Academic All-American, and first sophomore. The Nursing major owns a 4.00 GPA. She was one of four Bluejays on the All-America ballot after earning Academic All-District accolades along with teammates Kiara Reinhardt, Kiana Schmitt and Norah Sis.
