Western Kentucky volleyball legend Alyssa Cavanaugh died Friday morning at Norton Hospital in Louisville. She was 24.
A four-time All-American during her career on The Hill from 2014-17, Cavanaugh is one of the most decorated players in WKU program history.
“It is with profound sadness that we deal with the loss of Alyssa Cavanaugh,” WKU volleyball head coach Travis Hudson said in a news release. “She left a mark on WKU that very few athletes will ever make. She was a fearless competitor who achieved things personally, and helped our program achieve things as a team, that had never before been done on The Hill.
