Hall of Fame
Danielle Faggion-Marante – Tampa (Volleyball)
Danielle Faggion enjoyed one of the most prolific careers of any volleyball player ever to sport the Spartan colors. A four-time All-SSC and All-region performer, Faggion also earned national recognition which is second to none. She was the University of Tampa’s first four-time All-American, and was only the fourth student-athlete ever recognized as a four-time All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The highly-decorated Faggion capped her collegiate playing career in style, earning SSC Player of the Year honors as a senior in 1999 and eventually becoming the only UT student-athlete to earn SSC Female Athlete of the Year honors. Faggion’s name can be found all over the University of Tampa and Sunshine State Conference record books in numerous categories. She is all-time leader in assists for both UT and the SSC, having logged 6,213 for her career. Faggion also ranks among the school and conference career top-10 leaders in digs and service aces. Faggion is currently a school teacher in North Carolina and she becomes the second Spartan volleyball player to join UT coach Chris Catanach in the SSC Hall of Fame.
