SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - For the 10th consecutive season, the University of Northern Iowa volleyball team had two players named to the All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team.
Juniors Kayla Haneline (Plattsmouth, Neb.) and Amie Held (Festus, Mo.) were each named First-Team All-MVC performers in helping UNI earn the No. 4 seed for the conference tournament.Â
Haneline earned the first-team honor for the second consecutive season, while Held moved up from a second-team selection last season to a first-team honoree this year.
Haneline ranks fourth in the MVC in blocks/set (1.08) and fifth in the league in kills/set (3.22). She leads UNI in kills (383), blocks (128) and attack percentage (.297). She has registered at least eight kills in each conference match this season. She has posted 23 double-figure kill totals in 2015. She set her career-high in kills on two occasions this season vs. Evansville (Sept. 26) and at Drake (Nov. 14). Haneline tallied a career-high nine blocks in a 3-2 win over Drake (Nov. 14).
Held leads the team in digs (524) and service aces (26). Since moving to a six-rotation position on Oct. 2, she has led the team in kills. Held has posted 12 double-doubles since moving into a hitting position. She has registered a career-high 15 kills on three occasions. Held has been credited with 30 digs in two matches this year.
