Andi Collins wanted to be the best setter in the nation. Cancer ended that dream Sept. 4, 2003, a month shy of her 17th birthday. The Andi Collins Award, presented in her honor and memory, recognizes the best senior setter in the nation.

Below are 66 more than worthy candidates.

Please note: you won’t find players on the list who were not pure setters. If you hit as much as you set in high school or if you hit exclusively but will be a setter in club or college, this was not the list for you. Andi Collins was a pure setter and with so many good ones to choose from, I wanted to honor Andi’s legacy by choosing someone who emulated her.

Please also note that the list was largely crafted from nominations. I have no doubt that 10-20 others could have been listed below had we received a nomination, as requested.

The Andi Collins Award winner will be announced within the next three weeks.
