MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Conference USA Volleyball announced it's All-Conference and All-Freshman teams Wednesday afternoon, with senior Dora Peonia and freshman Kayla Henley both receiving honors.
Peonia earned a spot on the second team, making her the fifth player in Blue Raider history to be named to a C-USA All-Conference Team. The senior outside hitter has led Middle Tennessee's offense throughout the season, recording a team-high 356 kills on the year, which puts her at sixth in the conference for total kills. She also holds the fourth spot in program history for the individual career kills record with 987 total, and third in program history for individual career record service aces with 80. She recorded a career-high 23 kills against Marshall, and has tallied 13 double-doubles on the season.
Henley has played a big role for the Blue Raiders this season as a freshman, as she is third on the team in kills with 202, third on the team in blocks with 53 and fifth on the team in digs with 158. The right side hitter recorded a career-best 16 kills against Eastern Illinois and a career-high 19 digs against Western Illinois earlier this season, she also recorded a career-high five blocks against No. 19 Western Kentucky.
