A pioneer in SCSU volleyball, Swen Minnema became the program’s first-ever Second Team All-American when the AVCA bestowed upon her the honor for her accomplishments in her 1995 senior campaign. The three-time All-NCC First Team selection led the Huskies to NCAA Tournament appearances in 1993 and 1995 when the Huskies advanced to the Elite 8, the deepest run in the national tournament in program history. Minnema earned NCAA Central Region All-Tournament honors during the run, helping the Huskies beat Morningside and Northern Colorado en route to the Elite 8. Minnema was especially impressive as a blocker and at the service line, leading the Huskies in aces twice and in blocks in three of her four seasons on the court. Her 31 solo blocks and 72 service aces in 1992 still hold as the freshmen program record. Her career marks still rank among the Huskies’ top-10 today, checking in at second in service aces (240), second in solo blocks (88), second in total blocks (476), second in block assists (388), Sixth in matches played (129), seventh in points (1671.0), eighth in hitting percentage (.321) and ninth in kills (1,149).
