University of Wisconsin-Stout Athletics

A three-time all-conference selection, Jen Carter laid the groundwork for the success of the UW-Stout volleyball program, playing from 1989-92, but almost did not come to Stout. Her aunt, Kay Carter, was an instructor and coach in the Stout physical education department and made a pitch for her to attend Stout and take a swing at the volleyball squad. The rest, as they say, is history.A powerful left-handed hitter, the Blue Devils built their program around her and she responded with 1267 career kills, then a school record, with a hitting percentage of .246. Carter still holds the school record for kills in a single match with 28 against Northland College, Sept. 25, 1991. An all-around player, Carter was not afraid to go to the floor, and finished her career with 943 digs.
