Landmark Announces Volleyball All-Conference Team
MADISON, N.J. – A total of 16 student-athletes have been
named to the 2009 All-Landmark Conference Volleyball Team as
selected by the conference’s seven head coaches. The team
consists of a first and second team, with eight players on each
team, and the coaches selected the team by position. The voting for
the All-Conference Team took place after the conclusion of the
regular season and prior to the start of the Landmark
postseason.
Juniata College, which went a perfect 6-0 in conference play
during the season and is currently ranked second in Division III,
placed six players on the All-Conference Team, five of them on the
first team. The Eagles also swept the individual awards with senior
Megan Sollenberger being voted as both the Player and Specialist of
the Year. Her teammate, Kelsey Fuller was selected as the Landmark
Rookie of the Year, and Head Coach Larry Bock, who passed the
1,200-victory mark for his career during the season, and his staff
were selected as the Coaching Staff of the Year. Ten of the 16
selections were first-time All-Conference honorees, including four
freshmen who claimed four of the eight second-team All-Conference
spots. Six of the seven Landmark teams were represented with at
least one honoree.
