COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo- Senior middle blocker, Nikki Kinzer, the national leader in blocks per set, earned a spot on the RMAC All-Academic First Team. Kinzer is only the second student-athlete in the University of Colorado Colorado Springs volleyball history to earn the honor.

To qualify for Academic All-RMAC, student-athletes need a grade point average of 3.30 or better, be a starter or reserve, and completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution.
