Bowling Green, Ohio – Stepping into a full time starter role as the lone setter for the Falcons in 2015, Katie Scholten had a career-best season to date at BGSU with over 1,000 assists last year as a sophomore. She will once again be tasked to be the leader on the floor for the Falcons in her junior season in 2016.
A member of the 2015 Academic All-MAC Team last season, Scholten was named to both the Blue Raider Bash (MTSU) and the Panther Invitation (Pitt) All-Tournament Teams. As a sophomore in 2015, she eclipsed the 1,000 career assists mark in her first year as the starting setter, totaling a team-high 1,027 set assists on the season.
Scholten, who played and started in 28 matches on the season at the setter position, finished last year in a tie for second on the team with 25 service aces and was fourth on the team with 193 digs, an average of 1.77 per set. She also totaled 41 total blocks, 76 kills and an attack percent of .215 on the season. Scholten registered six double-doubles on the year in assists and digs and tallied 40 set assists or more 10 times on the year, which included a career-high 55 assists in the home win over Kent State.

Here are five things you might not know about Katie Scholten:
- At my high school graduation, my 93 classmates and I wore white "wedding like" dresses for graduation. The tradition started in 1833 and is still used today.
- I have been playing the piano for about 12 years now and before I started taking lessons I learned to play from my best friend in grade school.
- If I didn't play volleyball I would either want to be a dancer - even though I have been voted one of the worst dancers on the team - or I would have wanted to fence in college. I know that they are two completely different things :)
- Even though I am 5'10" tall, I am the shrimp of my family. At any family gathering my family gives my trouble for it.
- I have had the dream to learn American Sign Language (ASL). I've been learning a little bit over the last year or so, but I really want to become fluent in it.
