Alden earns the honor after being named the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year. The SLC Newcomer of the Year, the San Marcos, Calif., native was named first-team all-conference from the No. 2 position. The senior posted a 21-10 mark, finishing 6-3 from the top court and 15-7 from the No. 2 position. Alden claimed victories over pairs from three ranked teams (No. 11 Arizona State, No. 18 Grand Canyon and No. 7 Florida State) and finished 9-2 against conference foes on the year. Alden, who will be returning to the Broncos for her fifth year next season, is currently pursuing a business administration master's degree and earned a 3.95 GPA last semester.
Anderson, who earned the distinction for the second consecutive season, and Wolden earned the distinction after playing the entire season together. The duo posted a 20-13 record, going 11-11 from the top court and finishing 9-2 from the No. 2 position. The pair won three matches against opponents from the top court (No. 18 Grand Canyon, No. 12 Florida Atlantic and No. 13 Texas) and finished the year with an 8-4 record against conference foes.
Anderson, a health studies major with a 3.80 cumulative GPA, ended the season becoming the sixth player in program history with 60+ career wins, while Wolden, a integrated media and strategic communications major with a 3.82 cumulative GPA, became the fastest player to reach 50 career victories last year.
Wolf adds to her academic honors after being named to the SLC's all-academic team last week. A communications major with a 3.89 cumulative GPA, she was named first team all-conference from the No. 3 position after posting an 18-10 mark, including a 7-1 record against conference foes. Following a dominant performance at the SLC Tournament, Wolf was named the SLC Pair of the Tournament alongside partner Avery Allen.
