To be fair, there are 14 players each on the first (technically 15 because of an tie) and second teams, so basically two per position. So, really, the “first team” is more like a first and second team, and the “second team” is more like a third team and honorable mention.
Nonetheless, it is an impressive accomplishment for our players. Particularly impressive is both of our middle blockers got awards (including an all-freshman award for Sayer). Very impressive, particularly considering that they are a freshman and sophomore, and as recently as two years ago we were seriously concerned about the future at that position. Imagine if we had landed Harvey.
For all the grief that Parks has gotten here, she was a second team all-ACC as a freshman! Miner, as a freshman, wasn’t on the 18 person all-PAC-12 team in 2021 (she was HM, and there was only one all-PAC-12 team). Also, impressive that Blyashov was on the second team, despite spending much of the year starting every other game. All three of our rotation freshmen were on the all-freshman team. Bodes well for the future.
