Hall of Fame
Nicole Bayle will go down as one of the all-time greats in the history of the Grand Valley State volleyball program. Bayle not only reaped individual honors, but she led the Lakers to incredible accomplishments as a team on the court. Nicole was a two-time, AVCA First-Team All-American (2002-03), one of only two Lakers to earn the honor twice. She was a two-time AVCA All-Region honoree and a three-time All-GLIAC performer. In addition, Nicole was named to the Midwest Region All-Tournament team twice and the GLIAC All-Tournament team twice, including being named the GLIAC Tournament MVP in 2002. She is fifth in all-time assists with 4,071 and service aces with 204. GVSU was 122-20 as a team in her four years in the program, with four NCAA Elite Eight appearances and three Final Fours berths. The Lakers won four Midwest Regional crowns, two GLIAC Tournament titles and three GLIAC North Division titles during her career. Bayle was twice named the GLIAC Player of the Week and was an Academic All-GLIAC honoree.
