| Transcript | Hiykel earns three high DAC honors; Kauffman, Hanson named to DAC 2nd Team By Brad Blume Sports Information Director RAPID CITY --- The Dakota Athletic Conference released the All Conference teams Monday and the Hardrockers had three names on the list. Senior Jenny Hiykel (Omaha, Neb.) earned first team honors for the second consecutive year and also was named DAC Libero of the Year for the second straight season. On top of that Hiykel also received the honor of being the DAC Most Valuable Senior. "For the past four years the defense has been built around Jenny, " coach Honaker said. "She is very deserving of all these honors. 0As a libero on the season, Hiykel led the Hardrockers in digs with 683 for the year. In 103 games played she also had 518 receptions. She holds several school records including most digs in a season with 717. Her 2008 total also puts her in second place. "I thought it was going to be a fight between Hiykel and Dakota State's libero (Laura Lanoue), but Hiykel earned the award almost unanimously." Earning second team honors are outside hitter Ashley Kauffman (senior from Fort Morgan, Colo.) and Katherine Hanson (junior from Sioux Falls, S.D.). Hiykel Kauffman Hanson Hiykel Page 1 of 3 file://G:\Digitization\upr press\clips\2\11-17 DAC volleyball team named.htm 7/28/2009 "I was a little disappointed that Ashley wasn't higher on the list, " Honaker said. "She just as easily could have been on the first team." Kauffman is also a repeat All Conference selection. She led the team in kills this season with 313 and made good on 768 of 954 attacks. She was also second in the conference in kills averaging 3.04 kills a game and sixth in the DAC in digs with 429 averaging 4.2 a game. "It's nice to get recognized for all my hard work, " Kauffman said about earning the DAC honor. "It's just disappointing that we didn't have a better season. But it was still a fun year and a competitive one as well." Hanson, a middle hitter, was named to the second team as well this year. She finished the year with240 kills and was 598-702 on the attack. She also posted 74 total blocks for the year (16 solo, 58 assisted). "This is the second year she has been nominated and I am very glad to see she finally got on the (DAC) list, " Honaker added.
