Bushnell University Athletic Hall of Fame
Pre-dating the start of the “Title IX Era”, the Northwest Christian College volleyball team was created in 1971 and in just the fourth year as a varsity program, the Crusaders would win the Pacific Northwest Collegiate Conference Championship.
The 1975 team went undefeated with a 12-0 record, including an 8-0 mark in the PNCC. Played in a best two-out-of-three format at the time, the Crusaders only needed to play the full three sets one time throughout the year.
Coached by Tim Stewart, the team was led on the field by 2019 Hall of Fame Inductee Jeanette (Scofield) McHarness, who earned MVP honors.
Other members of the team included Laurie Beckham, Kris Black, Dondra Correll, Jean Gelder, Suzanne Gerg, Sue Kendall, Lois Smith, Becky Thornton, and Angie Trethoff, along with team manager Dee McCoy.
