The first libero ever named to the All-Centennial Conference team since the positions inception prior to the 2002 season, Godorov received her second consecutive All-Centennial Conference second team nod as finished second in the Centennial Conference in digs with 611 (5.88 per game) and recorded 15 assists and 34 service aces last season in 104 games.

In 2003, she set the Centennial Conference digs record with 654 (6.66 per game) in 96 games to erase the previous record of 586 held by F&M's Heidi Goedicke '03 from the 2000 season.

She could make history this season as she is 94 digs away from surpassing Betsy Baydala ’05 of Johns Hopkins for the Centennial Conference (1,722) career record and 33 shy of eclipsing Heidi Goedicke ’03 for the F&M (1,661) record.

At outside hitter, Zeigler recorded 40 kills, four assists, 13 service aces, 5 block assists and 189 digs last season to raise her career totals to 176 kills, 19 assists, 33 service aces, two solo blocks, 10 block assists and 460 digs in three seasons.
