Page Earns Coveted Big South Woman of the Year Award

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference announced Tuesday afternoon that recent graduate and volleyball student-athlete Meredith Page has been named co-honoree for the Big South Woman of the Year award.
 
Page, who graduated with a 3.96 GPA in Business Administration and a minor in Leadership was the Chair of the Big South SAAC as well as the league's National representative.  While at Radford, she was a Beta Gamma Sigma Honor Society member as well as the National Society of Leadership and Success, served on numerous NCAA Division I Committees, and was a panelist/public speaker for the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, Sports Business Journal Forum, NCAA Student Athlete Leadership Forum and NACDA Convention.
 
Throughout her four-year career as a Highlander, Page has used her voice to lead and uplift others. Balancing rigorous academics with national leadership, Page helped build a more focused, transparent and student-centered future in college athletics. The Murfreesboro, Tenn., native was first elected to serve as Radford Student Athlete Advisory Committee's (SAAC's) president in 2022 and held that position all the way through 2025.
 
While at Radford, Page served on the NCAA Division I Council, the Council Coordination Committee, the NCAA Decision-Making Working Group, and was appointed to the NCAA Decision-Making Working Group Transition Committee. In 2024, Page also testified before Congress as a Highlander on behalf of student-athletes across the country.

Page becomes the seventh Highlander to earn the Big South's Woman of the Year nod. She is the first Radford Volleyball student-athlete to earn the award and joins fellow distinguished Radford alumnae Saleena Lynch (Women's Soccer, 2023), Sydney Fisher (Softball, 2021), Jessica Wollmann (Women's Soccer, 2019), Chelsea Kelley (Softball, 2011), Hope Creasy (Softball, 2010) and Stephanie Walker (2006).
 
The Big South's Woman of the Year Selection Committee voted Page as a co-honoree with High Point's Esprit Cha. The Committee used criteria of Service and Leadership (including community services, campus activities and leadership positions), Academic Achievement, Athletes Excellence and a Personal Statement from each candidate. As the conference's Woman of the Year, Page will serve as one of the conference's official nominees for the national NCAA Woman of the Year award.
 
Established in 1991, the NCAA Woman of the Year program has recognized graduating female student-athletes for excellence in academics, athletics, community service, and leadership throughout their college careers.
 
The NCAA Woman of the Year Selection Committee, made up of representatives from the NCAA membership, will choose the Top 30 honorees -- 10 from each division -- from the conference-level nominees. The Top 30 honorees will be announced in the fall. The selection committee will then determine the top three honorees in each division from the Top 30, and the nine finalists will be announced in November. From those nine finalists, the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics will choose the 2025 NCAA Woman of the Year. The honorees will be celebrated at the Woman of the Year Award Ceremony at the NCAA Convention in Nashville in January. The Big South had its first national finalist in 2005 when Big South Hall of Famer Janiva Willis of Winthrop was named one of the 10 finalists.
