Bronco senior Veronica Munkeby collected a first on September 18 in the Lisbon gym.  Munkeby smashed her 1000th kill of her career in the Bronco’s District 1 loss to Wyndmere.

Munkeby has over 140 kills this year and amassed 489 as a junior, 359 her sophomore year, and finished with 34 during her freshmen year.

1000-plus kills is remarkable for a couple of reasons.  First, a kill comes one at a time, and secondly, Munkeby is the first Lisbon volleyball player to reach this plateau.

Munkeby is more than just a front-row player that hits and blocks.  Check out the stats from match to match and one can see that Munkeby can go down and dig out an opposing attack to help jump start the Bronco defense.
