OXFORD — Senior libero Cammy Niesen has achieved a remarkable milestone in her volleyball career by becoming the all-time digs leader for the Ole Miss volleyball team, accumulating a total of 1,633 digs. Niesen set this record during a recent match where she needed just nine digs to surpass the previous record held by Morgan Springer, who recorded 1,624 digs in 2011.
In her 102nd career match, Niesen recorded 10 digs, successfully achieving her goal and setting the new record. Notably, she accomplished this feat in 15 fewer matches than Springer, who played in 117 matches throughout her collegiate career.
Niesen’s performance throughout her tenure at Ole Miss has been consistent and improving, as she has recorded at least 400 digs in each season since her freshman year and is on track to do so again this current season. Her diligence and skill have positioned her among the top competitors in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), where she now ranks second among active players for total digs, trailing only Maya Sands from Missouri.
The achievement not only secures her legacy as one of the greatest defenders in Ole Miss volleyball history, but it also places her near the top 10 in career digs among all SEC competitors in history. Niesen hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, and her record is expected to grow as the season progresses.
Beyond the court, fans of Ole Miss volleyball are encouraged to engage with the team through the ACE Club, which provides crucial funding to support the program.
