  • Career Summary

Dodd in 2009 began playing with Dianne DeNecochea, and the team finished in the top five of its first 11 events. They won in Brooklyn, becoming both the oldest team (men or women) to win a title as well as setting a modern-day individual record for going the longest time between wins (9 years and 23 days).

 

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Dodd has proven that players don't have to grow up on the beach to be fierce competitors. She ranked 7th on the AVP last season, marking her 11th year as a top-15 player.

 

In 2000 she achieved her greatest accomplishment: winning the Hermosa Beach Open with Leanne McSorley. In 2002 she was named the AVP's Best Setter. Dodd had her best international finish in 2004 when she teamed up with Nancy Mason to place fourth in the Marseille Grand Slam. In 2005 Dodd played with three different partners, advancing to the semifinals with each one. She finished the 2005 season ranked ninth in digs (574) and 10th in aces (64).

 

Dodd ranked 10th in kill percentage (.548) in 2006. During the 2007 season, she competed in her 100th domestic event, a feat only three other active players had accomplished. 

 

Formerly Carrie Busch, she was an All-American at the University of Texas, where her older sister Nikki also played. Carrie was named MVP in helping Texas to second place at the NCAA finals. She graduated with a degree in Sports Administration.

 

She married Matt Dodd, brother of beach volleyball Olympic medalist Mike Dodd, in March 2005. The couple resides in Hermosa Beach, Calif., with their rescue dog Molly.
