NCAA Volleyball All-American Teams Announced

Lauren Stivrins was named second team All-American

Lexi Sun was named third team All-American

Nicklin Hames and Madi Kubik were named All-American Honorable Mentions

What an honor to be named an All-American at any level. I am surprised that none of the Huskers are on the first team. Members of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) vote, they look at statistics and team performance.

I not sure how Lauren Stivrins isn’t on the first team.

My analysis found her statistics to be equal or greater than comparable players. Her team’s performance is equal or greater. I am at a loss. I hope the Nebraska players and coaches are celebrating what they know to be greatness and not focusing on the ‘why not?’ but I wonder why not?

The AVCA named the first team All Americans:

• Kara Bejema, Washington
• Dani Drew, Utah
• Leah Edmond, Kentucky
• Jenna Gray, Stanford
• Morgan Hentz, Stanford
• Sydney Hilley, Wisconsin
• Kaitlyn Hord, Penn State
• Hannah Lockin, Baylor
• Regan Pitttman, Minnesota
• Yossiana Pressley, Baylor
• Dana Rettke, Wisconsin
• Shelly Stafford, Baylor
