She posted 117 kills and 44 blocks during the regular season.

Southern Connecticut State University Volleyball Notes Game 34 NCAA Tournament First Round No. 5 Southern Connecticut (23-10, 8-6 NE10) vs. No. 4 New York Tech (25-8, 10-4 ECC) Nov. 30 • 7:30 p.m. • West Haven, Conn.
THREE OWLS HONORED BY NE10: JADUS NAMED PLAYER OF THE YEAR A new chapter to a historic season was added with the announcement that junior Leanna Jadus of the Southern Connecticut State University volleyball team has been named the NE10 Conference Player of the Year, as voted on by the league’s coaches. In total, three Owls were recognized for their play, with Alyssa Gage also named to the First-Team and Kirstin Colwell selected to the All-Rookie Team. • This is the first time in program history that an Owl has received the NE10 Player of the Year honor, and also the first time that two Owls have been recognized with First-Team honors. • Jadus was among the conference’s leaders in a number of offensive categories for the Owls during the regular season. She led the NE10 in overall points, was second in kills, and third in both kills per set and aces. The three-time NE10 Player of the Week was also named a First-Team All-Conference selection. • Gage made an immediate impact in her first season with the Owls this fall. During the regular season, she ranked third in the NE10 in hitting percentage and is on pace to set a new SCSU single-season record in that department. Gage also ranked fourth in total blocks and seventh in kills. • Colwell also stepped right into the Owls’ rotation from the opening match and has been a fixture in the middle during the campaign. She posted 117 kills and 44 blocks during the regular season. JADUS, GAGE NAMED ALL-REGION SELECTIONS Juniors Alyssa Gage and Leanna Jadus were both named All-Region selections by the Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association. The announcement was made on Tuesday. Voting was conducted by the region’s sports information directors. VENARD EARNS COSIDA ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT HONORS Sophomore Anna Venard of the Southern Connecticut State University volleyball team has been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District Team, as voted on by the region’s sports information directors. She now advances to the national ballot for Academic All-America consideration.

• Venard has played a pivotal role as the Owls’ primary defensive specialist here in 2017. At the time of the announcement, Venard led the Owls and ranked seventh in the NE10 in digs. • She is an exercise science major with a 3.97 cumulative grade point average. QUITE A RUN BY THE OWLS In order to secure their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth, the Owls notched NE10 Tournament victories over American International (3-1) and Saint Anselm (3-2) to reach the NE10 Tournament final for the first time in school history. AIC was ranked No. 5 in the region at the time of that game, while St. Anselm was No. 6. JADUS CAPTURES ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM HONORS Leanna Jadus was named to the NE10 All-Tournament Team. She registered double-doubles in all three games and combined for 56 kills and 43 digs in the three matches.
