Booth hit .362 against BIG EAST opponents to rank fourth in the league and put forth 2.86 kills per set to lead all middles. The senior led Villanova in scoring six times this season and notched 17 double-digit kill matches, including seven in a row to conclude the year.
Booth ended her senior year as the Villanova all-time leader in hitting percentage at .309 while ranking tie-fifth in block assists (268), eighth in blocks per set (0.78) and tie-ninth in total blocks (295) at the time of her graduation.
The Berlin, Pennsylvania, native becomes the first Villanova AVCA honoree since 2019 when Allie Olsonoski was also named an honorable mention selection.
