CLEVELAND, Ohio - Bowling Green State University volleyball standout Caty Rommeck (Sterling Hts., Mich./Henry Ford II) was named to the All-Mid-American Conference First Team, the conference office announced today (Nov. 22). The All-MAC Team was selected by a vote of the league's 13 head coaches.
Falcon senior JoAnna Papageorgiou earned honorable mention to the all-league team, while Susie Norris was named to the MAC's All-Freshman Team.
Rommeck earned MAC Player-of-the-Week honors a school-record six times this season, including five times on the defensive side. She earned the All-MAC honor after leading the league in blocks, with 1.65 per game.
Rommeck, a middle, also led the Falcons in hitting percentage (.340) and kills per game (3.89), ranking among the league leaders in those categories.
Papageorgiou, a middle/right-side hitter, hit .277 on the year, with 3.35 kills and 1.24 blocks per game. She led the team in service aces, with a total of 24 on the season.
Norris, a left-side hitter, tied for second on the team (with Papageorgiou) in games played at 108, and averaged 3.33 kills per game. Defensively, Norris led the team in digs with a school-record 462. Her 4.28 digs-per-game average also set a new school seasonal record.
Ball State's Emily Sallee, Susie Meshberger and Megan Hammons joined Rommeck on the all-conference first team, as did Western Michigan's Monyka Paul and Zakiya Pope.
Rommeck, as a first-team selection, is now one of six finalists for the MAC's Player of the Year award. That honor, as well as the league freshman and coach of the year awards, will be announced on Wed., Nov. 29. Norris, as a member of the all-freshman team, is eligible for the MAC Freshman of the Year honor. Bowling Green concluded its 2000 campaign with an overall mark of 21-9, and the Falcons tied for the MAC's East Division title with a 12-6 league record.
