Four Belhaven Players Earn CCS Volleyball Honors
Four Belhaven volleyball players received Collegiate Conference of the South honors, the league announced Thursday. Tarryn Woodall and Kayla Robinson were named to the All-CCS Second Team, Megan LaCour earned honorable mention and McKenna Matthews made the All-Sportsmanship Team. The conference’s seven head coaches voted on the awards.
Woodall earned her first all-conference selection after leading the CCS with 4.00 points per set and ranking second with 3.40 kills per set. The sophomore from Moody, Alabama, started all 26 regular-season matches and recorded 323 kills, compared with 125 as a freshman. She had 47 kills across Belhaven’s two regular-season matches against LaGrange, including 25 at Rugg Arena and 22 in the return match. She also reached 500 career points against Millsaps on Nov. 7.
Robinson, a senior libero from Prairieville, Louisiana, earned second-team honors for the second consecutive season. She led the conference with 5.15 digs per set and totaled 494 during the regular season. Robinson reached 1,500 career digs at LeTourneau on Oct. 13 and recorded 33 digs in three sets at Piedmont three days later. She finished that week with 73 digs in 10 sets and earned her third CCS Defensive Player of the Week award of the season.
LaCour received all-conference recognition for the third straight year. The senior outside hitter from River Ridge, Louisiana, had 258 kills and 239 digs, reaching at least 200 in both categories in each of her four seasons at Belhaven. She also passed 1,000 career points this fall. Against Huntingdon, LaCour led the Blazers in kills in both meetings, with 20 in Jackson and 12 without an attack error in Montgomery.
Matthews, a senior outside hitter from Olive Branch, Mississippi, played in 15 regular-season matches. She hit .462 with seven kills in Belhaven’s four-set win at LaGrange on Oct. 27, as the Blazers completed a season sweep of the Panthers.
Belhaven, the tournament’s fifth seed, was scheduled to face No. 4 Huntingdon at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Barnes PE Center in Lookout Mountain, Georgia.
