Bio

Jill Kotelnicki was one of the top players on the Northwood Volleyball team during one of the best four-year periods in school history. She earned NAIA District 23 Player of the Year honors in both 1987 and 1988. Kotelnicki is the only player in Northwood history to earn the District Player of the Year honor twice in a career. An All-American in 1988, Kotelnicki also earned First Team All-District 23 honors three times (1986, 1987, 1988). She still ranks among the all-time leaders in NU history in assists (3,509 – sixth), digs (1,214 – fifth) and aces (252 – sixth). Northwood won the District 23 title all four years of her career and placed fifth nationally in 1988.
