Price reaches 2,000 kills
Coyote volleyball star
Bellevue’s Kristyn Price, 21, has become the first Albertson College volleyball player to reach 2,000 career kills.
In her final match at J.A. Albertson Activities Center in Caldwell last Tuesday, Price went out with a bang—recording 22 kills in Albertson’s 30-28, 31-29, 26-30, 29-31, 15-16 victory over Northwest Nazarene College of Nampa.

Price added 22 kills and 10 defensive digs Friday in Albertson’s 3-1 triumph over Cascade at Portland, Ore., then the 5-8 senior outside hitter had 14 more kills Saturday in a three-game victory over Warner Pacific at Portland.
The win over Warner Pacific made it six straight wins for Albertson College (17-13, 12-6 Cascade Conference)—its longest winning streak in three years—and put the Coyotes in third place for the six-team Cascade tourney Nov. 15-16 at Concordia, Univ. in Portland.
It’s the fifth straight year that Albertson has reached the conference playoffs, and former Wood River High School star Price has been a starter for four of those seasons.
She enters the league playoffs with 2,044 career kills. Having had 108 matches with double-figure kills, Price ranks seventh on the all-time NAIA national list. She is tied for second place NAIA all-time with 34 matches with at least 20 kills.
Price, an all-conference player for three years, is also the all-time Coyote leader in career aces. She needs a few digs to take over the all-time Albertson lead in that area.
She is the daughter of Sherry and Bruce Price.
