Alexa Lea Gray[2] (born August 7, 1994) is a Canadian volleyball player. She is part of the Canadian women's national volleyball team. Professionally, she plays for the Turkish club Eczacıbaşı Dynavit.[3]
Gray attended high school at Centennial High School in Calgary.[4] She began playing volleyball in sixth grade and played for Calgary Dinos women’s volleyball club and helped them to U15 and U17 provincial champ titles and U16 and U17 national champ title.
She also played rugby and basketball in high school.[5]
Gray has attributed her motivation to her late mother, Stacey French. Her mother was also an athlete and played basketball at Southern Utah. When Gray was 13, she and her sister survived a car accident that claimed her mother's life. While driving from Montana, an elk struck the car, causing it to roll several times.[6] Gray's father, Evric Gray, played basketball at UNLV and is a high school basketball coach.[7]
Gray is a Mormon, and opted to attend Brigham Young University to play in college.
Gray played for BYU and was three time All-American. In her first season in 2012, she was named West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year. She won West Coast Conference player of the year back-to-back in 2014 and 2015. She helped BYU to a national runner up finish in 2014, the first time BYU ever made it to a championship match.
She finished her career at BYU ranked second in kills and attempts and sixth in points (all which ranked first during rally-scoring era) and sets played.
