Waldman, Peters Receive All-America Honorable Mentions
WELLESLEY, MA – Two Wellesley volleyball players were honored by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) last week. Tracy Waldman (Seattle, Wash.) and Emily Peters (Temescal Valley, Calif.) were selected for All-America Honorable Mentions. It was the first selection for both, and the first time since 1998 that Wellesley had two players receive National All-America consideration.
Both players became eligible for national honors by being named to the New England All-Region Team. Waldman, in her senior season, recorded 247 kills for an average of 2.57 per game. She also finished with a .332 attack percentage and 101 blocks. Peters, a junior libero, led the team with 584 digs and posted 59 serving aces.
