2013 AVCA Division II First-Team All-America

Marissa Cox, a 6-0 opposite for Washburn University, is a junior from Richmond, Kan. Cox’s .340 hitting percentage and 3.73 kills per set places her second in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The First-Team All-MIAA selection was named MIAA Hitter of the Week five teams in 2013. Cox is a first-time AVCA All-American.

Danielle Dahle, a 6-1 outside hitter for UC San Diego, is a sophomore from La Mesa, Calif. She led the Tritons in kills per set (3.25) and points per set (3.65) while also tallying 338 digs and 47 blocks. It is because of Dahle’s consistent play of 15 double-doubles that kept UC San Diego in the top-25 of the AVCA Coaches Poll all season, reaching as high as eighth. Dahle earns AVCA All-American honors for the first time.

Taylor Goodness, a 6-0 outside hitter for the University of Central Missouri, is a senior from Salina, Kan. A unanimous First-Team All-MIAA selection, she led the strong conference with 4.04 kills per set and eighth with a .303 hitting percentage. In the Jennies NCAA Regional Quarterfinal win over Nebraska- Kearney, the senior tallied 22 kills on .367 hitting and added seven digs. Capping her fine career, Goodness can add “AVCA All-American” to her volleyball resume.

Holly Hafemeyer, a 6-3 middle blocker for Augustana College (SD), is a senior from Faribault, Minn. There aren’t many players who dominate the net quite like Hafemeyer, placing second in the loaded NSIC in kills (4.32/s), blocks (1.14), and points per set (5.08).

Kayla Koenecke, a 5-9 opposite for Concordia University, St. Paul, is a senior from Delano, Minn. After being named to her fourth AVCA All-Region team, there is no doubt Koenecke will go down as one of the greatest to wear the uniform.

She is also seventh in the NSIC averaging 3.67 kills per set while playing solid defense, placing second on the team in digs per set (3.53) and third in total blocks (77). Koenecke is now a four-time AVCA All-American, earning first-team accolades for the third consecutive year.

This is Lange’s third consecutive season earning AVCA First-Team All-American honors.

Brenna McIntosh, a 6-0 middle blocker for Cal State San Bernardino, is a sophomore from Yorba Linda, Calif.

Berkley Whaley, a 6-0 outside hitter for the University of Tampa, is a sophomore from St. Petersburg, Fla. In just her sophomore year, Whaley put the Spartans on her back en route to their fifth consecutive NCAA South Region Title.
