New York, N.Y.-Villanova freshman Rose Crist was named to the All-BIG EAST Freshman Team as announced by the conference office on Wednesday.

Crist had a stellar freshman season with 199 kills in 89 sets played including a season-high 20 kills against Butler. The outside hitter also registered eight double-digit kill performances throughout the season.

"Rose had a really nice freshman season," Villanova Volleyball Head Coach Josh Steinbach said. "She's a dynamic attacker that has a bright future in our program and in the BIG EAST."

This is the third-straight year that a Wildcat has been named to the All-BIG EAST Freshman Team.

Villanova finished the 2021 season 15-15 overall and 7-11 in BIG EAST play.
