TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Outside hitter Brooks Webster received yet another honor recognizing her stellar junior campaign as the Baltimore native was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association South Region Team Wednesday. Webster becomes just the fifth Crimson Tide player in history to achieve this status.
"This is a very nice honor for Brooks," said head coach Judy Green. "I hope this is something that will keep her hungry to improve throughout the spring and also into next fall. She really did have a great conference season in 2008 leading the league in kills."
Webster, who most recently made the Southeastern Conference First Team, led the Tide with 424 kills. Over the course of the season she collected 12 double-doubles and rattled off 20-plus kills on five occasions. Webster led the conference in kills with an average of 4.17 per set against SEC opponents and notched a career-high 26 in Alabama's win at Georgia.
On the defensive end, she scooped up 287 digs, which was good for No. 2 on the team. At the net, Webster racked up 45 blocks with 17 of those solo.
Webster played in all 105 sets for Alabama leading the Tide in point production where she was responsible for an average of 4.54 points per frame. She was also voted to three all-tournament teams early on in the fall and was named MVP of the Crimson Tide Invitational.
Webster is now in the running for a place on one of the three AVCA All-America Teams to be announced on Wednesday, Dec. 17. Each team is comprised of 14 players. The awards will be presented at the AVCA Players of the Year/Division I All-America Banquet in Omaha, Neb. on Friday, Dec. 19.
