The Alfred State volleyball trio of Kay Pfleghardt (Tioga), Lera Braun (Waterloo), and Jess Ramsey (Tioga) have added another All-American honor to their resume. The trio was recently named American Volleyball Coaches Association USCAA All-Americans.

Pfleghardt and Braun were both named 1st team while Ramsey was a honorable mention selection.

This is the first year the AVCA has announced a USCAA All-American team. The All-American team honors 13 student-athletes: six seniors, four juniors, two sophomores and a freshman. Six of the lauded individuals are outside hitters, while two setters, two middle blockers, two liberos and a right side also earned distinction
