Rhamat Alhassan '14, a senior at the University of Florida, has been named a 2018 Honda Sport Award for Volleyball. The annual award is presented to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA- sanctioned sports and signifies "the best of the best in collegiate athletics". The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2018 Honda Cup which will be presented on Monday, June 25, 2018.
Rhamat is a four-time All-American blocker for the Gators who became the first player in Southeastern Conference history to lead the nation in blocks per set (1.70) since the NCAA began tracking the statistic in 1994. It was also the second-highest season average in school history. She said of the honor, "I might be the person being recognized, but it speaks volumes about my coaches, support staff, my teammates, and Gator Nation. No part of this award was achieved individually. It took a family to get this accomplishment."
