Metro State's Morley (Parker, Colo.) Named First Team All-Region

WAYNE, Neb. - Metro State volleyball player Bri Morley was named Daktronics first team All-Central Region on Wednesday.  It is the third straight year she has been recognized as a Daktronics all-region honoree.  Last season she was named to the first team and in 2008 she was named honorable mention.

Morley, a junior outside hitter from Parker, Colo., led the Roadrunners in kills this season, totaling 458 in 122 sets played, an average of 3.75 per set.  She also hit .234 and averaged 4.29 points per set, adding 52 blocks and 31 aces this season.  She currently ranks 30th in the nation in kills per set and 36th in points per set.

Metro State reached the NCAA Central Region semifinals before falling to three-time defending national champion and top-ranked Concordia-St. Paul.  The Roadrunners had a 25-7 record this year, their second straight 25-win season and the fifth in Head Coach Debbie Hendricks' 11th year at Metro State. They have topped the 20-win mark in nine of those years.

The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. The team is voted on by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) from the Central Region, made up of 25 women’s soccer playing institutions in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
