As the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference regular season wraps up, two Celts have earned all-conference honors. Junior middle blocker, Paige Havel, landed on the All-SCAC Second team while Freshman defensive specialist, Ally Peters would be selected to the All-SCAC third team.
Havel, the Giddings,Texas native, stifled opposing offenses all season long. The six-foot-three middle blocker tallied 1.63 blocks per set, while totaling 173 total blocks through 28 matches. Havel's defensive efforts captured her the top spot in Division III for both blocking statistical categories. Furthermore, she would set a UST Volleyball program record for most solo blocks in a game twice this season. Offensively, Havel also excelled leading the Celts in kills (223) and in kills per set (2.10).
Ally Peters, the freshman from Tomball, Texas, anchored a backrow that ranked fourth in the SCAC in digs. Peters played in 26 overall matches for the Celts and finished the season with 4.42 digs per set, ranking her fourth in the league. She would shine in a five-set thriller against nationally ranked Southwestern, accounting for a season-best 33 digs.
St. Thomas travels to San Antonio, Texas to compete in the SCAC Tournament. The sixth-seeded Celts will take on third-seeded Pirates of Southwestern University on Friday, November 5th, at 6:00pm CST.
