Six PBC Volleyball Players have received All-Region accolades, as released yesterday by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and the Division 2 Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA). Lander's Katie Miller, and Flagler's Clare Sheedy and Marley Middlebrooks were named both AVCA and D2CCA All-Region. USCA's Anna Sommer being recognized by the D2CCA. Flagler's Gracie Fleming and Augusta's Layne Witherspoon both receiving recognition from the AVCA. 

Lander senior outside hitter Katie Miller has been named First Team All-Region by both the AVCA and the D2CCA, marking the fourth consecutive season she has earned first-team all-region recognition from both organizations. The announcement adds to a historic final campaign for Miller, who was recently selected as the Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year for the second straight season and became the PBC's all-time career kills leader in the Bearcats' run in the conference tournament. Miller is now just 39 kills shy of reaching 2,000 career kills, a milestone only a small number of Division II players have ever eclipsed. She leads the conference in kills (512, 4.49 AVG), points (600, 5.26 AVG), and service aces (58). She ranks in the top ten nationally in attacks per set (12.38), kills per set (4.49), points per set, total attacks, and total kills. 

For the first time in her career, Flagler's Clare Sheedy was named to both the AVCA and D2CCA first team all-region after leading the region in total assists. This season, the PBC Setter of the Year has registered 1286 assists which places her at second in the nation. With an average of 10.46 assists per set, Sheedy finished second in the region with the highest average, falling second to the South Atlantic Conference leader Maya Van Hest of Wingate University who averaged 10.82 and finished ahead of the Conference Carolinas' leader Marusa Pesut of Emmanuel University who finished with 9.89 per set. Eclipsing 50 assists in three separate matches, her career high 59 assist performance against Francis Marion University was the second highest individual match within the region.

Flagler's Marley Middlebrooks earned AVCA first team all-region and D2CCA second team all-region for the first time in her career. The sophomore outside hitter found 456 kills which put her at third in the region and 11th in the nation. In the Peach Belt Conference championship match, Middlebrooks played a career match and found 25 kills. The match tied for third in the region with the most kills by a single player which led to her being named PBC Tournament MVP. Middlebrooks is also tied for the team high in digs with 329.

Flagler's Gracie Fleming was named AVCA all region honorable mention for the first time in her career. Offensively, Fleming is 10th in the region in hitting percentage with a .338 and has 12 matches this season with a .400 or higher. Her highest percentage match came against Lees-McRae College where she finished with .700 on eight kills. Leading the team in blocks with 86, Fleming ranks fourth in the conference and is tied for eighth in the region. The second team all-PBC recipient had a career match against Lee University where she had 16 kills, hitting .481 while also notching two blocks.

Augusta's Layne Witherspoon was also named AVCA all region honorable mention, the first in her career. Witherspoon, a junior from Wildwood, Missouri notched 336 kills on the season, along with 166 digs and 80 blocks for a total of 419 points. Both her points and kills totals are good for third in the PBC this season. Witherspoon was fourth in the PBC in hitting percentage with .294 and had a season high .619 vs Mississippi College. 

USCA's Anna Sommer has been named to the D2CCA all-Southeast Region Second Team. Sommer, a senior from Saint Louis, Mo., garnered first-team all-PBC accolades. She led the PBC with a .360 hitting percentage, totaling 300 kills on the season. Sommer also topped the league with 1.17 blocks per set. She accounted for 27 solo blocks and 104 assisted blocks.  The middle blocker posted a season-high 18 kills in the win over Coker while notching a season-high 20 points against the Cobras. Sommer had 10 total blocks against Montevallo – all of which were assisted. She had six matches with at least five total blocks on the year.
