BATON ROUGE – With a Court 1 win over No. 8 Texas on Saturday, April 5th, Parker Bracken earned her 100th win in an LSU jersey. She becomes the third player in LSU Beach Volleyball history to have 100 overall wins in their career – Claire Coppola at 121 and Kristen Nuss at 139.
“Parker has already proven herself as one of the greatest players to put on an LSU jersey,” said head coach Russell Brock. “To add her 100th win to her already incredible college beach volleyball resume just shows how special she is. Parker has been playing in the top flights for her whole career. She has earned every win along the way. I’ve been so proud of her every step along the way as she’s grown and matured. This year’s growth has probably been the most impressive. Not only has she added to her already elite ability to play the game, but she has also become the caring and committed leader that our team needed to be their best. It has been an absolute honor to coach Parker for the last four years and I can’t wait to see how she finishes her career as a Tiger!”
