"In this conference it is truly an honor to be recognized," said PJC volleyball coach Justin Maness.
At one point this season, Region 14 had five of the 12 member teams ranked in the top 20 nationally, with one receiving votes.
Making Second Team All Conference were Stephanie Brock of Arlington, Texas; Lauren Hutchinson of Forney, Texas; Katie Poole of Rowlett, Texas; and Veronica Azubuike of Arlington.
Receiving Honorable Mention All Conference were Lauren Pyka of Fredericksburg, Texas; Ariel Sanders of Mesquite, Texas; and Rachel Maslowski of Wylie, Texas.
The team ranked as high as 11th nationally during the season, and still forced the Blinn College team to four games in the tournament. Blinn was ranked first nationally and is in its eighth trip to the national tournament in the last nine years.
