RRAC Volleyball All-Conference Team
FORT WORTH, Texas After a 20-win regular
season and an appearance in the Red River Conference tournaments
final match on Saturday, four Lady Rams were among those receiving
All-Conference honors. Senior outside hitter Leighann Krey and
sophomore setter Cortney Johansen were both named to the
All-Conference first team, sophomore outside hitter Nicky Davis
received the Front Row Specialist of the Year award, and freshman
middle blocker Rachel Loftin was honored as the conference
Freshman of the Year. Davis and Loftin were also named to the
All-Conference second team.
Krey, in her final season at Wesleyan, led the
Lady Rams with 377 kills and finished third in the conference with
4.0 kills per game. Despite a shoulder injury, she competed in 94
of Wesleyans 101 games, and contributed 46.5 total blocks (18
solo, 57 assisted) and had 218 digs (2.3 per game).
Johansen, the only setter used by the Lady Rams
this season, produced an amazing 1217 assists on the year. Her
average of just over 12 was second best in the conference by just
.15 assists per game. She also produced 174 digs, 27 total blocks
(7 solo, 40 assisted), and led the squad with 45 aces and an
outstanding hitting percentage of .379.
Davis, a transfer-student from Henderson State
University, finished second on the squad with 252 kills. Her
average of 2.7 per game was good for thirteenth in the conference,
and her .344 hitting percentage ranked ninth. She also produced
46.5 total blocks (9 solo, 75 assisted) while playing primarily on
the front line for the Lady Rams.
Loftin came to Wesleyan this year straight from
Joshua high school, and stepped in to contribute almost
immediately. Her .322 hitting percentage ranked thirteenth in a
conference dominated by powerful upperclassmen, and at 2.3 kills
per game, she finished twentieth. She also added 62 total blocks
(18 solo, 88 assisted) in just 82 games.
The awards, voted on by the coaches of the Red
River Athletic Conference, were announced Monday morning (Nov.
18). |
