MILWAUKEE - Graduating senior Kim Todd has been awarded the 2007-08 BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Award for women's volleyball.

"Kim has just been tremendous in her stellar four-year career with us," said head coach Pati Rolf. "She is the epitome of a Marquette student-athlete and we are very proud of everything she has accomplished. For someone to excel the way she has on the court along with her engineering major is quite an accomplishment."

A Biomedical Engineering major, Todd, was named an AVCA Division 1 Honorable Mention All-American in 2006 and a First Team All-BIG EAST selection in each of the last three years.

In 2007 Todd led the Golden Eagles with 484 kills for an average of 4.79 per set. She leaves Marquette in second place all-time with 1,719 career kills.

The Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards are given to one student-athlete in each BIG EAST sport based on academic credentials, athletic accolades and volunteer service to the community.
