Nikki DeSerpa

It’s been a productive first season for Nikki DeSerpa at Marist University, as the 5-foot-11 outside hitter has 146 kills in 22 matches this fall.

DeSerpa, the Herald’s Player of the Year last fall for Notre Dame, is second on the team in service aces with 13. She also has 48 digs and 17 blocks for Marist.

DeSerpa helped the Spirits to back-to-back Central Coast Section Division V volleyball titles, leading them to the State Northern California finals last fall.
