Heffner, a native of Ft. Wayne, Ind., was selected the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s Freshman of the Year for the South Region while Adamcik earned Verizon Academic All-American (third team) honors.
A second-team All-SEC selection for the Tide in her rookie season, Heffner finished the year as the team’s leader in digs and ranked second in kills. She becomes the first Alabama player to earn the prestigious honor.
“I am honored to be selected as the Freshman of the Year out of group with so many talented freshman players,” said Heffner. “My play was benefited by the level of talent that I was surrounded by at Alabama. My teammates helped me adjust to playing at the college level. I am very excited to have received this great honor.”
A junior from Southlake, Texas, Adamcik becomes just the second Tide student-athlete to make one of the Academic All-American squads. She led the team in blocks on the court and maintained a 4.00 GPA in Criminal Justice off the court. Adamcik is a three-time Academic All-SEC honoree and has twice been selected to the Verizon Academic All-District team.
