BAY CITY - Saginaw Valley State University senior volleyball student-athlete Makenzie Frodle has been selected as one of six female recipients of the Fall 2014 GLIAC Commissioner's Awards on Friday (Jan. 23).
Frodle, who recently finished her career for the volleyball team and has moved on to compete as a track & field student-athlete, is the first SVSU student-athlete to receive the coveted award since men's soccer and women's cross country student-athletes Zach Myers and Lauren Hill in the fall of 2012. She is the second volleyball student-athlete to claim the award, joining former SVSU setter Kait Harris (2009). Makenzie is one of just 12 Saginaw Valley student-athletes to ever win the award.
Frodle had an outstanding senior season to finish her career in a Cardinal uniform. The 6'0" middle hitter from Fraser, Michigan posted a GLIAC-leading .330 hitting percentage, registering 258 kills on the season for an average of 2.77 per-set. She added a team-high 80 blocks, an average of 0.86 per set and ninth best in the league. In addition to earning First Team All-GLIAC honors, Frodle was selected to the Daktronics, Inc. All-Midwest Region Second Team and as an AVCA All-Midwest Region Honorable Mention recipient. Makenzie finished her career with a 4.00 cumulative GPA as an English major, earning her 2014 CapitalOne Academic All-America Second Team honors for her performance in the classroom as well as on the court. Frodle holds a perfect 4.00 GPA as an English major.
