Climbing the Charts
- Senior Miajavon Coleman is cementing herself as one of the top players in CSU history as she nears the school-record for kills and is among the leaders in digs.  Coleman needs just nine kills to break CSU's all-time record for kills while sitting 8th in career digs.  When she breaks the kills record, she will also crack the MEAC Top 10 in kills.
- Senior Jordan Celestine ranks fourth in school-history with 213 career blocks.  At the Penn Tournament, Celestine matched a career-high with seven blocks against Bucknell before upping that just hours later with eight blocks at Penn.
- Junior Ashley Roman already sits second in school-history with 1,128 career digs while her 4.72 digs per set and 25 matches with at least 20 digs are both school-records. 
- Roman ranks 19th among all active players with 4.72 digs per set in her career and 7th among current juniors.  Her 1,128 career digs are 91st among all active players and 12th among juniors.
- In his fifth season at the helm of the Eagles program, head coach Tim Walsh is the winningest coach in school-history with 49 victories.  This included the team's first MEAC North Division Title and winning season during the Spring 2020 season.
 
Senior CLASS Award
- Senior Miajavon Coleman was recently named one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award which recognizes excellence on and off the court.
- Coleman has maintained a 3.81 GPA in Biomedical Science while minoring in both chemistry & psychology.  She is also the President of CSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Athlete Honor Society.
- Coleman received a grant to perform biomedical research on campus in the Ophthalmic Research Laboratory, investigating the role of oxygen free radicals in the pathogenesis of ocular diseases.
