COSTA MESA, CALIF. – The AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) Pro Beach Volleyball Tour announced its year-end award winners Wednesday, recognizing the top performers from the 2014 season. Santa Clara University Bronco volleyball alumna Kim DiCello ’07 (formerly Kim McGiven) has been named the AVP’s most improved player. The San Diego native is currently 6th in the AVP 2014 Women’s Individual Rankings.
Winners in the most improved player category were selected by AVP athletes through a write-in ballot.
From the AVP: DiCello had her best season so far on the AVP in 2014, as she finished third in four tournaments – a career best. DiCello began the year playing with Tealle Hunkus for the first two AVP stops, but then teamed up with AVP rising star Lane Carico for the remainder of the season. After placing 13th in their first event, the duo advanced into the semifinals at each of the following four events. McGiven ranked fourth among women in kills with 475 and was eighth in blocks, totaling 62.
DiCello at SCU: DiCello played at Santa Clara from 2002-06, appearing in 116 matches. The three-time All-WCC First Team and WCC All-Academic selection amassed 1,327 kills — the 6th-most in program history — including a single-season best 466 in 2005. She finished her collegiate career with a .240 hitting percentage, a mark that increased in each of her four full seasons on the Mission campus. On Sept. 3, 2005, McGiven recorded 34 kills vs. UC Irvine, a mark that still stands as a Bronco record for a four-set match.

Women's sand volleyball to be the newest athletic program at TCU

Women's sand volleyball to be the newest athletic program at TCU

With the inaugural season approaching in March, sand volleyball takes its place as the 12th women's athletic program at TCU.

 // Posted 
In 2015, the long jump pits at the Lowdon Track and Field Complex won't be the only place you’ll find Horned Frogs in the sand.
TCU Sand Volleyball is set kick off its inaugural season this spring.
Along with the University of New Mexico, the University of New Orleans and the University of Portland, TCU is set to join the ranks of the Division I schools offering sand volleyball opportunities for the first time.
After gathering 40 sponsoring institutions in January 2014, NCAA has begun the transition from an emerging sport status to a championship sport.
After the transition is complete, which could take two years, the NCAA will sponsor the national championship.
"As part of our concerted effort to stay compliant with Title IX regulations, we're proud to add to our women's athletics program," TCU director of intercollegiate athletics Chris Del Conte said. "We are excited about the opportunities this will provide for young women to become student-athletes and compete on the NCAA Division I level."
According to the AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) website, the first NCAA sand volleyball championship will be held in the spring of 2016. Participants from all three collegiate divisions will compete.
A sand volleyball committee would be established immediately after the proposal is approved to organize the championship and select the first participants next year.
Junior economics major Christian Lui said the TCU women’s sand volleyball team will have large fan base to back them during their inaugural season in March 2015.
"I'm excited,” Lui said. “Coming from Hawaii and playing a lot of competitive sand volleyball, I think it's important we show support, so that the sport can grow."
Treasurer of the men’s sand volleyball intramural team at TCU, Lui said that implementation of the sport will help both the indoor and sand volleyball recruiting process.
Women’s indoor and sand volleyball head coach Prentice Lewis said she would not answer any questions regarding the team until the indoor season concludes.

Once again, Ridgefielder Theo Brunner was among the honorees when the AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) Pro Beach Volleyball Tour announced its year-end award winners Wednesday, recognizing the top performers from the 2014 season.
Brunner, a 2003 Ridgefield High graduate who played collegiately at the University of California-Santa Barbara, was named the tour’s best blocker for the second consecutive year. The 6’7” Brunner had 163 rejections this season to rank first in the category. His 2.12 blocks-per-game average was also the best on the tour.
The year-end honors were awarded based on statistics, player votes and points earned during the 2014 tour schedule. Ten players were nominated in the categories of best defensive player, best blocker and best server, based on statistics (blocks, digs and aces recorded per set, with a minimum of 30 sets played to qualify for the category), with the winner chosen by votes cast by active AVP players.
Similarly, the top 10 offensive players were nominated based on hitting percentage (with a minimum of 600 attacks to qualify), with the winner also being selected by AVP players.
The tour held seven tournaments across the country in its second full year under the leadership of Managing Partner Donald Sun.

Best blocker                                                                                                                                                                             
Theo Brunner
Brunner earned the award for the second straight season. The 6-foot-7 UC Santa Barbara product stuffed his opponents 163 times this season, putting him at the top of the list among men’s players. His 2.12 blocks/game average was also the best.

Lauren Fendrick
Fendrick was the top women’s blocker on the AVP this year, recording 108 stuffs. Her 1.48 blocks/game was also tops on the Tour amongst female players.

Best server
Brad Keenan
Keenan totaled 58 aces during the season in 30 matches (75 games), good for a 0.77 ace/game average. His 58 aces ranked him second among the top 32 male players on the AVP, behind only Casey Patterson, who had 60.

April Ross
Ross collected the award for the second time in her career. She totaled 94 aces on the season, 24 more than the next player. Ross averaged 1.24 aces/game, good for best among the women on the Tour. 

Best defender
Nick Lucena
Lucena was named the best defender on the AVP for the second time in his career, the first time coming in 2008. He dug his opponents 447 times, the most of any men’s player on Tour. His 5.52 digs/game average ranked him third, behind Casey Jennings and Todd Rogers.
Brooke Sweat
Digging her opponents 443 times during the course of the season, Sweat has been voted the AVP best defender for the second straight year. Sweat's 6.07 digs/game was good for third among AVP women, behind Geena Urango and Kendra Van Zwieten.

Best offensive player
Tri Bourne
Following up a 2013 season in which he was named newcomer of the year, Bourne emerged as an offensive force in his second year on the Tour. Hitting .460 in 86 games this season, Bourne ranked second among the men behind two-time Olympian Jake Gibb. Bourne won his first career title in 2014 at the AVP Milwaukee Open, with partner John Hyden.

Kerri Walsh Jennings
Recording the honor for the first time since 2003, Walsh Jennings was the most efficient woman on the AVP Tour this year, hitting .511 and recording 479 kills with just 81 errors on 779 swings. Walsh Jennings, who along with teammate April Ross, won all seven tournaments on the AVP schedule, was also honored for setting the women’s record for AVP tournament victories.

Most improved player
Jeremy Casebeer
Casebeer had a breakout season in 2014, as he finished a career best third at the Cincinnati Open with partner Casey Jennings. Casebeer spent much of the 2013 season battling through open qualifiers, but established himself as a main draw threat in 2014. At only 6-foot-5, Casebeer is one of the smaller blockers on the Tour but still managed to shut down his opponents 139 times in just 76 games (1.83 block/game average). The 25-year-old UCLA product ended the season as the 12th-ranked men’s player on the AVP.

Kim DiCello
DiCello had her best season so far on the AVP in 2014, as she finished third in four tournaments – a career best. DiCello began the year playing with Tealle Hunkus for the first two AVP stops, but then teamed up with AVP rising star Lane Carico for the remainder of the season. After placing 13th in their first event, the duo advanced into the semifinals at each of the following four events. The six-foot San Diego native ranked fourth among women in kills with 475 and was eighth in blocks, totaling 62.

Newcomer of the year
Trevor Crabb
Crabb finished a career high third with partner Billy Allen in Atlantic City. In his first full season on the AVP, Crabb finished seventh or better in four of the seven events. After starting the year with two 13th-place finishes playing with Steven VanderWerp, Crabb teamed up with veteran Allen, and they secured a fifth-place finish in their first event together, in Salt Lake City. The 25-year-old Long Beach State graduate finished the year with 91 blocks in 61 games (1.49 block/game average), ranking him 10th among the men on Tour. 

Amanda Dowdy
In her first year on the AVP, Dowdy partnered with Olympian Nicole Branagh and showed why she is a rising star on the Tour. The pair finished outside the top ten in only one event, collecting four fifth-place finishes and two ninths. A force at the net, Dowdy collected 64 blocks and a 1.16 blocks/game average, putting her third among the women.

Most valuable player
Jake Gibb
Gibb took home the top individual honor for the third time in his career (2005, 2013, 2014). The two-time Olympian was atop the standings in offensive efficiency, hitting .472 over 78 games. He finished the year with 370 kills and just 66 errors on 644 swings.

April Ross 
Ross has collected the top individual honor for the second straight season. She and partner Kerri Walsh Jennings won every AVP event during the season, while Ross proved to be an offensive threat both behind the serving line and attacking at the net. In addition to her 94 aces, Ross led all women with 556 kills. On defense, she recorded 372 digs for a 4.89 digs/game average.

Team of the year
Jake Gibb and Casey Patterson
The top-ranked team on the AVP was named team of the year for the second consecutive season. Since teaming up at the beginning of 2013, the duo has taken home eight AVP titles – six more than the next team, Phil Dalhausser and Sean Rosenthal. The team failed to make the finals in only two of the seven AVP events in 2014, and took home the title in the final three events (Cincinnati, Atlantic City and Huntington Beach).

Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross
Dominating the AVP and winning every event, Walsh Jennings and Ross being voted as the Tour's team of the year in 2014 was hardly a surprise. The duo dropped only four games all year, winning 36 consecutive matches during the course of the season.

EMERSON, Ga. – Georgia State’s sand volleyball team participated in the inaugural Collegiate Sand Clash presented by Rally Volleyball. Florida State, LSU, South Carolina and UAB joined Georgia State for a chilly Saturday full of competition at LakePoint Sporting Community in Emerson, Ga.
The action started bright and early at 10 a.m. with temperatures in the upper 30’s. The five teams played 62 matches over the course of the day with some pairs playing as many as 10 sets.
“It was fun to watch the girls exercising their volleyball IQ’s today and having to adjust strategies mid-game,” head coach Beth Van Fleet said. “We had some moments of greatness and some of our pairs played at high levels all day. We identified some areas that need to be sharpened before the regular season. Overall, we were satisfied with what we’ve learned, but we have room to improve before March.”
While the matches do not count towards official records, the fall exhibition featured some very tight sets with players fighting the cold temperatures and giving it their all. The tournament was decided by the percentage of sets each school won. Georgia State finished second behind Florida State in the standings. The Panthers won 55% of their sets (35-28) and the Seminoles won 51 matches to finish at 82%.
In her first college tournament, Magdalena Dostalova paired with Jansen Button as the Panthers’ top team. “It was fun to watch them together in competition for the first time,” Van Fleet said. The duo went 4-4 with tough battles against Florida State and South Carolina’s top squads.
Georgia State’s No. 5 pair, Delaney Rohan and Alexis Townsend, had a productive Saturday with a 6-2 record, taking both sets against UAB’s top pair and splitting with LSU’s No. 3 duo and Florida State’s No. 5 team. The only sets that GSU’s Allie Elson and Molly Smestad dropped were the final two against Florida State. The Panthers also got a strong outing from the No. 4 spot with Nina Interwies and Milani Pickering. The pair knocked off UAB’s top team and finished 5-3 after also defeating LSU’s No. 2 squad.
Georgia State now will have several months to train for the regular season which is set to being in March, 2015. The Panthers finished last season ranked in the top 10 and look to continue to establish themselves amongst the top sand volleyball programs in the nation.
