PUEBLO, Colo. (May 14, 2020) – Colorado State University-Pueblo Volleyball announced that
Hannah Delor will transfer to CSU-Pueblo for her junior season starting this fall.
Delor (Jr., Marysville, Mich.) comes to the Pack from Urbana University. In 2019, Delor was named to the All-MEC Tournament Team.
"The addition of Hannah to the Pack Volleyball Family is a program changer for us," said CSU-Pueblo Head Volleyball Coach
Austin Albers. "From our very first conversation in the recruiting process, she checked all the boxes in terms of the type of person that we want in our program. Her goals and priorities aligned so well with ours that everything just seemed to fall into place."
Last season, Delor earned Second Team All-Mountain East Conference honors as a sophomore. She averaged 3.39 kills per set. Delor also dropped in 45 service aces and totaled 3.45 digs per set.
As a freshman, Delor received Honorable Mention All-MEC accolades. She knocked down 3.05 kills per set and 45 service aces in her debut campaign with the Blue Knights.
"From a volleyball standpoint, we expect that Hannah is the type of player that will compete to make a difference right away," Albers said. "She carried the load in her first two seasons as part of a strong program at Urbana and is a tenacious competitor, which has been a big recruiting focus for us this year."
Delor served as a floor captain in both of her seasons with Urbana. She guided the Blue Knights to a runner up finish in the MEC Tournament in 2019 and a second place finish in the MEC standings.
In 2018, Delor helped the Blue Knights to a 21-12 record and a third place finish in the MEC standings. The team went 40-25 in her two seasons at Urbana.
"The pace that she is on statistically through her first two seasons is incredible and we look forward to seeing her build on that in the final two years," Albers said. "We are counting the days until we can get her in our gym!"
Delor starred on the court for Marysville High School from 2014 through 2017. She was a four-year starter for the Vikings and served as team captain in her final two seasons.
As a senior, Delor earned First Team All-State honors. She was voted Second Team All-Macomb Area Conference, First Team All-Region and First Team All-District. Delor also claimed Times Herald Player of the Year honors.
With a 3.98 GPA, Delor claimed a MHSAA Academic All-State Award and earned a spot on the Macomb Area Conference All-Academic Team. She was a four-year member of the All-State Academic team.

Delor helped the Vikings claim four consecutive District Titles. She led the Vikings to 149 wins in her four varsity seasons.
A multi-sport athlete, Delor also excelled in basketball where she was a three-year starter in high school. Delor earned Honorable Mention All-State accolades in 2017.

Her father competed in football at Ferris State University, while her mom played volleyball at the University of South Carolina Spartansburg.
