Being named Player of the Year once during one's career is quite an honor. During her four-year run with the Saints, Ann Deen was so honored eleven times; four times each by the CCAC and District 20, twice by the NAIA and once by Volleyball Magazine. What it did was spell out a career in St. Francis volleyball history that will never be matched. Deen, who gained a tryout with the Olympic "B" Team after her senior season, secured 2,433 kills for her career as a middle blocker, the most amongst NAIA players and the third-best career showing at all collegiate levels. Added to that figure was an incredible 1,086 blocks. Thus, it is easy to see why her name sits above and beyond all others in both blocks and kills for a game, match, season, career and average in the St. Francis record books. Her attack percentage of 43.6 percent in 1989 just adds fuel to the fire. One of only two players to win Player of the Year honors twice (1989, 1990) in the history of NAIA volleyball, Deen represents the sole player in the chronicle of the association to be recognized during each of her four seasons on the all-america squad. During her career, she led the Saints to four NAIA national tournament appearances, including a fourth-place finish to cap things off in 1990 (the program's best-ever reading). A four-time all-tournament team selection herself at the finals, St. Francis captured 174 wins against a mere 48 setbacks while Deen was in uniform.
