This season Kunkle was able to hold some impressive stats next to her name as she led all Huskies with 47 aces as well as posting a dominating 592 assists.

Sutter head coach, Ann Reynolds was very grateful, to see her player recognized.

“It is such a prestigious honor and it talks a lot about Maddy’s hardwork,” Reynolds said.

“Athletically she’s top notch, she has quick feet, quick hands and she’s very coachable. This award was well earned.”

Kunkle wasn’t just a threat offensively she also recorded 49 digs this past season leading her team to a 25-10 record.

Pierce’s coach Kim Travis was named coach of the year.
