SPRINGFIELD – Missouri State senior outside hitter Manuela Ibarguen is one of 12 players to earn first-team all-Missouri Valley Conference honors in volleyball, the league announced on Saturday morning.

Ibarguen started all 25 matches she played in 2022 and led the Bears in kills (339) and kills per set (3.49) while ranking second on the club in dig average at 2.85, leading to 15 double-doubles on the year.

A native of Carmen de Viboral, Colombia, Ibarguen's six 20-kill matches this year made her one of seven players in school history with that many in a season. Four of those came in succession from Oct. 1-14, a first at MSU since 1997.

Ibarguen led MSU in kills 14 times with 18 double-figure matches, and ranks seventh in the MVC in points and kills, adding 44 total blocks and 26 service aces on the year.
