Four Behrend Lions Named to AMCC Volleyball All-Conference Team
The
Penn State Behrend women's volleyball team had four players named to the
2007 AMCC Volleyball All-Conference Team. The all-conference team was
announced on November 4.
Behrend sophomore middle hitter Sheila Ogden (Grove City/Grove City)
was named to the AMCC First Team. The sophomore smashed a team-leading
315 kills and led the blue and white with a .270 hitting percentage.
Ogden was an all-conference honorable mention in 2006.
Three other members of the Behrend Lions were named AMCC Honorable Mention.
Defensive specialist Brittany Hennessy (Hopewell/Hopewell) led the team with
634 digs, an average of 6.22 digs per game. She is currently second
all-time in digs at Behrend with 1,772 which is just four shy of the career
leader mark. The junior has made the all-conference team each of her
three seasons at Behrend.
Brooke Gallentine (Mt. Pleasant/Southmoreland) finished third in the AMCC in
assists per game, averaging 9.75. The sophomore now has 2,083 assists
in her career, good for third on the Behrend career leader board. Gallentine
was also selected to the all-conference team in 2006.
Carissa Johnston (Cambridge Springs/Cambridge Springs) received her first
selection to the all-conference team after pounding 295 kills and recording
198 digs. The sophomore was eighth in the AMCC with 2.98 kills per
game.
Penn State Behrend finished the season with an 18-12 mark. Behrend
shares the regular season co-champion title with Frostburg State as both
squads finished with an 8-1 AMCC mark.
