The season may be over, but the awards keep coming for the LBCC volleyball program.
This week, the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced their awards for the 2023 season. Among the names honored were LBCC’s Grace Boeder and Head Coach Jayme Frazier.
Boeder was named a first-team AVCA All-American for two-year colleges, one of 15 nationwide. This is far from Boeder’s first award this season, as the sophomore middle blocker was also named NWAC Volleyball Player of the Year, NWAC South Volleyball MVP, and NWAC Volleyball Tournament MVP this season. Boeder finished the season with 101 total blocks and 282 kills as she led her team to an undefeated season and an NWAC Championship this year.
LBCC volleyball Head Coach Jayme Frazier was also honored by the AVCA. The association named her as one of the two West Region Coaches of the Year.
“Frazier’s name has been synonymous with success since she took over the Linn-Benton volleyball program in 1993,” the AVCA wrote regarding Frazier. “The Roadrunners closed a particularly impressive year, in which they were unbeaten in 36 matches. Over the past three seasons, her teams have gone 100-3 and won three NWAC titles.”
Frazier is one of eight two-year college volleyball coaches nationwide honored by the AVCA this season. Like Boeder, Frazier’s AVCA honor is not the only award she’s earned this year, as she was named the NWAC Volleyball Coach of the Year and the NWAC South Volleyball Coach of the Year for the season as well. Frazier’s Roadrunners won a championship and went 36-0 in 2023, with Frazier eclipsing 700 career wins as a head coach in the process.
