University of Montevallo Athletics

1991 UM Hall of Fame Inductee, Sandra Sims, joined the Falcon program with expectations to help lead Montevallo volleyball into a new era. Sims led UM to a school record 42-wins in her first season, as Montevallo won the AIAW Division II State title. She also was the team leader in kills and hitting percentage during her freshman year.

Sims, multi-talented player, led the Lady Falcons in kills and services aces each of her last three seasons. She was an All-State tournament selection during her freshman and sophomore campaigns. In 1981, a Sims- led squad tied the school record for wins (42-13 in 1979), posting a 42-14 match record in their last season as a member of the AIAW.

In 1982, Sandra Sims became UM Volleyball's first ever NAIA All-American, earning honorable mention status. The `82 Lady Falcons also went to the NAIA National Championships for the first time in school history.
