TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The post-season accolades list just got a little bit longer for junior Brooks Webster as she was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-America Team Wednesday. Webster joins former standouts Erin Heffner and Crystal Hudson as the only Crimson Tide players ever to receive this honor.
"It is fun to see Brooks recognized on a national level," said head coach Judy Green. "I believe her best volleyball is still ahead of her. She joins a very elite group of athletes by earning this honor."
Over the course of the season Webster collected 12 double-doubles and rattled off 20-plus kills on five occasions. She led Alabama in kills with 424 total. Webster topped the Southeastern Conference in kills with an average of 4.17 per set against league 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 the Tide leading Alabama 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. Other post-season awards for Webster include SEC First Team and AVCA South Region Team.
