DURHAM, N.C. – North Carolina Central University volleyball senior Whitney White has been named the NCCU Student-Athlete of the Month for November 2018 in recognition of her outstanding performance on the court and in the classroom.

The resident of South Boston, Virginia, produced nine kills and four blocks in a win over Savannah State University and then added 12 kills and three blocks in another win against South Carolina State University.
 
White was then named to the NCCSIA All-State Volleyball Team for her outstanding senior season.
 
The middle blocker averaged 2.02 kills and 1.00 blocks per set in 2018 and had a team-best .241 hitting percentage. White ranked second in the MEAC in blocking and eighth in the league in hitting accuracy.
 
In her career, White played in 100 matches for the maroon and gray and finished with 657 kills and 268 blocks for averages of 1.91 kills and 0.78 blocks per set. She was a reliable attacker as a middle blocker, who tallied a cumulative .217 hitting percentage on over 1,700 swings.
