After going undefeated (16-0) in Ohio Valley Conference play, the 2000 Volleyball Team won the OVC Tournament Championship to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The 2000 team is the only team in Southeast volleyball history to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Southeast defeated North Carolina in five sets in the first round, but fell at Florida in the second round. That season, Southeast earned multiple conference honors, including Player-of-the-Year (Krista Haukap), Rookie-of-the-Year (Emily Scannell), OVC Tournament MVP (Lea Beckmeyer), three All-Tournament Team selections, two First-Team All-OVC picks, one Second-Team All-OVC honoree and one All-Freshman/Newcomer team accolade. On Nov. 30, 2000 against North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Haukap had 36 kills in the match, a record that still stands today. She holds the record for career kills (2,070) and total attempts (4,921), while Beckmeyer is sixth in career kills (1,405) and total attacks (3,452).
