The Alabama State women’s volleyball team added to their recent collection of honors by picking up two more individual awards after excelling in the team’s hosted ISTAP Collegiate Cup 2 Tournament at the Dunn-Oliver Acadome this past Sept. 11-13.
Junior outside Chelsey Scott (Enterprise, Ala. / Enterprise HS) and senior setter Ellyn Jones (Columbus, Ind. / IUPUI) were among the 12 players bestowed with the honor of making the team.
Coaches from the seven participating schools (Alabama, Alabama State, Southern Mississippi, Southeast Missouri State, Towson, Savannah State and The Citadel) were all given two votes per match to the players who they felt were the most deserving of the recognition.
In five matches, Scott totaled 41 kills, 13 digs and nine aces while Jones racked up 119 assists and 26 digs. Jones set a new single-game personal best for this season with 36 assists in a three-set win against Savannah State. Scott put down a season-best 14 kills and five aces in the same match.
Alabama, Southern Mississippi, Towson and Southeast Missouri State each had two representatives as well. The Citadel and Savannah State each had one representative on the team.
