Inga Kurgonaite, a 2008 graduate of Lock Haven and a former All-America selection, enters her second season as the graduate assistant volleyball coach with the Bison volleyball program. As a Third Team All-America choice in 2006, Kurgonaite led Lock Haven to three straight NCAA Elite Eight appearances (2004-2006), three NCAA Atlantic Region championships (2004-2006) and a pair of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) titles (2004, 2006). A four-time All-Atlantic Region selection, she ended her career with the Lady Eagles third on the program's kills list (1,459), third in hitting percentage (.303) and fourth in blocks (426). She piled up a team-high 359 kills as a senior and registered at least 20 kills in a match four times. Named to the All-PSAC Team four times, Kurgonaite was an Honorable Mention All-America choice as a sophomore when she tallied 89 digs and 106 blocks. A native of Kaunas, Lithuania, Kurgonaite helped Lock Haven pace the NCAA in blocks per game in 2004 (3.83 bpg) and 2006 (3.06 bpg), and in hitting percentage in 2006 (.317). A right-side hitter during her playing career, Kurgonaite was a 2007 NCAA Leadership Conference participant and was the co-president of the Lock Haven Student-Athlete Advisory Committee as a senior in 2007-08. "Inga brings a lot to the table in terms of her experience as a player and her success on both the national and international levels," said Opalski when Kurgonaite joined the staff. "She has really taken the initiative to jump in and immediately impact the offensive and defensive production of our big people." |
