LEXINGTON, Ky. - Salisbury
University volleyball standout junior Stacey Krebs
became the first-ever volleyball All-American in school history as
she garnered third team honors by the American Volleyball Coaches
Association. There are 36 players on the 27th annual AVCA
All-American Division III teams, which consist of 12 players on the
first, second and third teams.
The All-American award is just the latest in a long list of
postseason awards for Krebs as she was named to the Mid-Atlantic
All-Region first team by the AVCA, named the Capital Athletic
Conference Player of the Year and All-CAC first team.
The outside hitter led the Sea Gulls to a 28-11 record and their
first NCAA Division III tournament appearance since 2004. SU also
won its fourth CAC championship as the maroon and gold went 7-1 in
conference play during the regular-season.
Krebs finished the '07 campaign with the new single-season
school records for attack attempts (1,519, a difference of 196 more
than the old record) and kills (559, 90 more than the old record).
Krebs is now the school career leader with a 3.72 kills per game
average. She is now third all-time in school history with 1,334
career kills in three seasons. Krebs is just the third Sea Gull to
be named CAC Volleyball Player of the Year and the first since
2000.
Sophomore Gabby Long was also recognized by the AVCA as an
honorable mention Mid-Atlantic All-Region selection. First team
All-CAC honoree Long set the single-season digs school record with
779 and most digs per game average at 5.69.
