2022

Benson was a two-time All-American with the Hoosier volleyball program, including first-team All-America accolades during her senior season in 2010. During that 2010 season, she also earned her third straight first-team All-Big Ten accolades after leading the program to its first-ever NCAA Sweet 16 appearance, and she was later honored as IU's Female Athlete of the Year for the 2010-11 season. She is the program's all-time leader in total blocks, block assists, and hitting efficiency, and she ranks sixth in career kills. Following her collegiate career, she continued to play professionally overseas in Puerto Rico, Germany, and Peru before retiring in 2018. She teams with her father, Kent Benson (Men's Basketball, 1974-77), to form the only Parent-Child tandem to be included in the IU Athletics Hall of Fame.
