A familiar face returned to Mississippi College during the 2016 season as Holly Tupper begins her first season on the volleyball sidelines as a graduate assistant coach for the Lady Choctaws.
Â
Tupper played four seasons in the Navy and Gold and ranks among the career leaders. The Baton Rouge, La., native stands as the career leader in digs with 1,825 and has four of the top six, single-season digs marks in program history. Tupper also ranks sixth in career service aces with 78.
Â
Tupper was a three-time, All-American Southwest Conference honorable mention during her time in Clinton. Off the court, she also excelled in the classroom as she was named to the conference’s academic honor roll three times (2-American Southwest; 1-Gulf South) and was named to the NCCAA Volleyball Scholar-Athlete Team her senior season.
Â
She received her Bachelor’s from Mississippi College in May 2015 with a degree in Kinesiology (Pre-Physical Therapy) with honors.
