Currently in the NCAA Division I, there are six schools that have two active players with 1,000 or more kills in their careers. There are many programs that have players right on this cusp, but as of September 29, 2017, NC State, Fairfield, Jacksonville State, Kansas, Missouri State and Sam Houston State all have accomplished this feat.
All players that are apart of this category are seniors, pushing ahead in their final season for their teams, looking for a successful end for their NCAA playing careers. Additionally, only two power-five conferences have posted this feat – ACC (NC State) and Big 12 (Kansas). Penn State is close to having two players with 1,000 kills under their belts, as Ali Frantti has 1,094 kills in her career and Simone Lee catching up with 971. Additionally, Creighton has Jaali Winters who has 1,147 kills and Marysa Wilkinson who is catching up with 981.
For NC State, Kaitlyn Kearney is just 59 kills away from setting the Wolfpack apart from the rest with three players with more than 1,000 kills.
