PASADENA, Texas – Alyssa Dibbern, a senior at Bay City High School in the Bay City Independent School District, has signed a National Letter of Intent to continue her education and volleyball career at San Jacinto College.

Dibbern, a 6-2 middle and right side player, was the District 23-4A most valuable player last season. She knocked down 411 kills and had 216 digs for the Blackcats and head coach Yvette Segura. She also combined for 129.5 blocks.

"Alyssa is a dynamic all around athlete," said SJC head coach Sharon Nelson. "She excels in practically every sport she plays. She'll be a great asset for us on offense next season."

Dibbern plays club volleyball for the Victoria Lady Dynamites and is coached by Jayme Pauley, a two-time all-region and all-academic region player for San Jac. In addition to volleyball, Dibbern also runs track and cross country, and plays basketball.

In its fourth-straight trip to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national tournament this past fall, San Jacinto finished the 2008 season fifth in the nation with a record of 33-3.
