When individuals in the know about Stout volleyball discuss the program’s history, the name Alissa Proshek invariably enters the conversation. How could it not?

A two-year Blue Devil captain and two-time team MVP, Proshek earned first-team all-WWIAC honors in 1992, 1993 and 1994. Proshek holds the following school records: single-season service aces (104), career service aces (343), career attempts (3,966), career digs (1,463) and career kills (1,561). Proshek, who paced Stout in aces three times and kills twice, led the Blue Devils to a 33-6 (7-1 WWIAC) season mark, second-place WWIAC finish and Stout's first-ever NCAA Division III Tournament appearance in 1994.

Proshek pursued other professional endeavors after a brief coaching career and currently resides in Columbia Heights, Minn.
