CCU standout was a two-time Sun Belt Player and Offensive Player of the Year
CONWAY, S.C. – Coastal Carolina volleyball standout Anett Nemeth has signed a professional contract with the SC Potsdam in Germany.
A two-time American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American (AVCA) honorable mention and two-time AVCA All-Region selection in each of the last two years (2019 and 2020), Nemeth was recently named the Sun Belt Conference representative for the 2021 NCAA Woman of the Year award.
A two-time VolleyballMag.com All-American, picking up third-team honors in 2020-21 and fourth-team recognition in 2019, the Pecel, Hungary native, leaves CCU as one of the most decorated Chanticleers in history. She was a two-time Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, two-time Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year, and a three-time first-team All-Sun Belt selection.
This spring, Nemeth became the first Chanticleer volleyball student-athlete to earn CoSIDA Academic All-America honors since Jill Nyhof in 2009 and only the third Chanticleer all-time, joining both Jeanne Lambert (2000 – first team) and Nyhof (2009 – second team).
Nemeth led the 2020 Chanticleers to the Sun Belt Conference's East Division championship and a second-place finish in the conference tournament. Unfortunately, her junior season ended in the Chants' second match of the tournament due to an injury.
The Chanticleers posted a final record of 18-1 in 2020, including a perfect regular season at 16-0 overall and in Sun Belt play. The 6-2 opposite side hitter led the Sun Belt in kills at 4.44 kills per set, was second in service aces at 0.38 per set, and fourth in hitting percentage at 33.4 percent.
The Sun Belt Conference East Division Champions finished the season nationally ranked at No. 14 and were in the AVCA Top 15 Coaches Poll in each of the final three weeks of the season, climbing as high as No. 12 on Nov. 18.
She finished her three-year career at Coastal with 1,145 kills, a 4.39 kills per set average, a .304 attack percentage, 186 set assists, 84 service aces, 599 digs, 199 total blocks, and 1,343.5 total points.
Her 1,145 career kills rank 10th all-time in Coastal volleyball history, while her 4.39 kills per set average ranks second all-time in CCU history. Her average of 5.15 points per set also ranks second all-time in the CCU career annals.
Nemeth graduated with her bachelor's degree in business management in May 2021 and is working towards her MBA. She is currently in Azerbaijan with the Hungarian National team preparing for the European Championship.
