BAY CITY, Mich. - Three Michigan Tech volleyball players have been honored by the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Junior Veronica Armstrong and Jennifer Jung were each named to the All-GLIAC Second Team, and junior Kelsey Skoog was named an All-GLIAC Honorable Mention Selection.
Armstrong, a native of Battle Creek, Mich., led the team in both kills with 260 (2.71 kpg) and 34 service aces (0.35 sapg). She also recorded 253 digs (2.64 dpg), third most on the team, and 46 blocks (0.48 bpg) on the season.
“Veronica was a leader by example for us this season, and she always gave 100 percent. She is the type of player who can take over a match, and she started to dominate near the end of the season,” said head coach Krista Mikesch.
Jung, a native of Andover, Minn., led the GLIAC in blocks with 129 (1.37 bpg). A first-team selection the previous two seasons, Jung recorded 217 kills (2.31 kpg), second most on the team.
“Jenn had a good year, and she led the league in blocking. She has taken steps to improve her hitting. Next year she should be one of the best middles in the league,” said Mikesch.
Skoog, a native of Long Lake, Minn., recorded 490 assists (5.10 apg), after she moved to the setting position prior to this season. She also recorded 242 digs (2.52 dpg) and 19 service aces (0.20 sapg).
“Kelsey had a huge impact on the program this season. She moved to the setter position, and by the end of the year, she earned the position full time. She was also looked to for her leadership this season,” said Mikesch.
The Huskies finished the season 9-17 overall and 7-11 in the GLIAC.
