Erin's Story
Education is very important to the Thompson family. Looking to provide other volleyball
players at Cowley College the same experience their daughter Erin Thompson had at
the college, Keith and Tracy Thompson donated to the Cowley College Foundation to
create this scholarship focused on volleyball players.
Erin was a born leader on and off the court and displayed her love of volleyball with
her infectious energy. This scholarship is a true testament of that love of the game
and Cowley volleyball, and we are forever thankful that she and her family were a
part of our program.
Steven Gream
Volleyball Head Coach
Erin Thompson played volleyball at Cowley College during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Known as a
fierce competitor and a loyal teammate, her positive energy was apparent on and off
the court. Thompson was always setting goals to improve herself. The 2021 season for
the Cowley Tigers Volleyball team was nothing short of amazing. The team won a school-record
41 matches in a row before finishing second in the NJCAA Division II national championship.
Erin continued her career at the University of West Florida.
