Taylor Pippen Inducted to Saluki Athletics Hall of Fame

Carbondale, Ill. - Taylor Pippen was inducted into the Saluki Athletic Hall of Fame as part of the 2023 Class this past weekend along with four other new members. The Class of 2023 featured Bryan Boemer (Football), John Marks (Track & FIeld), Dyana Pierre (Women's Basketball), Taylor Pippen (Volleyball), Dewey Robinson (Baseball) and the 1983 Football team, which won the I-AA National Championship.

Pippen (2012-15) is the only three-time First-Team All-Conference selection in school history.

Pippen led the conference in hitting in 2014 with a .410 hitting percentage on 290 kills. She led the 2015 team to a 23-10 record and the first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history.

The Saluki Hall of Famer set the school record for career block assists (426) while ranking second in career hitting percentage (.345), fifth in sets played (453), and 12th in kills (1119).
