"Marisa has been an incredible asset to the Leopard volleyball program," said head coach Jenna Panatier. "In only two years she established herself as one of our go-to hitters as well as one of our leaders. We are very proud of who she is and what she has accomplished."

The senior earns the award after leading the Leopards with 290 kills (third most in the SCIAC), with 255 digs, 28 blocks, and 28 assists.

Rojo led the University of La Verne volleyball team to a second place finish in the SCIAC regular season and as high as a No. 14 national ranking. The Hacienda Heights native also earned First Team All-SCIAC recognition earlier this year.

She finished her time as a Leopard with 542 career kills.

The Leopards ended the season with an 18-9 overall record and 11-5 finish in the conference.
