RENEE DUFLON
Volleyball (1976-79)
One of the finest players in the rich tradition of University of Delaware volleyball, Renee DuFlon was an outstanding hitter for teams led by Hall of Fame head coach Barbara Viera during the late 1970’s.
A native of Ridgewood, N.J., Renee led the Blue Hens to an impressive four-year record of 127-61-1 that included four straight Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (EAIAW) Regional appearances and a trip to the AIAW National Tournament in 1979 when the team posted a record of 35-8.
She also was a standout on the 1977 team that won a school-record 38 matches. A 1979 team co-captain, Renee set school records for kills in a match (34), season (461) and career (1,283), and for hitting percentage in a season (.401). She also ranked No. 2 for service aces in a season with 107.
Her single match kills record still stands today and her season and career kills marks lasted for nearly 20 years. A two-time team Most Valuable Player, she was named the University of Delaware Outstanding Senior Female Athlete of the Year in 1980.
Renee earned her degree in physical education with a minor in recreation from the University of Delaware in 1980.
