A middle hitter from 1990-93, Julie (Kohtz) Cast was a force at the net for the NWU volleyball team. Kohtz etched her name on several of the school’s all-time charts, including nearly every blocking category. Her 138 career solo blocks set a school record, and she also broke the single-season mark when she recorded 64 solos in 1991.
During Kohtz’s sophomore campaign, she led the Plainswomen in kills, total blocks and service aces. Her 133 total blocks that year ranked her fifth in NAIA District 11 and still rank sixth in the team’s record books for a season. Her efforts earned Kohtz All-Conference and NAIA All-District 11 Honorable Mention accolades.
As a senior, Kohtz again led the team in kills and blocks while NWU produced its best record during her four-year career (17-11). The Waco, Neb., native earned a pair of postseason honors with First Team All-Conference and First Team NAIA All-District 11 selections. She also ranked seventh in the conference in both attack percentage and kills per game.
In addition to her No. 1 rankings in solo blocks, Kohtz is still third all-time at NWU in career total blocks (332) and eighth in career assisted blocks (194). She also ranks 10th in career kills (1,009), eighth in single-season attack percentage (.305) and eighth in career hitting (.267).
