2022 RMAC Volleyball All-Academic Release

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado Mesa’s Sabrina VanDeList is the 2022 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Volleyball Academic Player of the Year, the league announced Tuesday.
 
VanDeList claims RMAC Volleyball Academic Player of the Year after pacing the Mavericks to a No. 17 national ranking heading into the postseason. The redshirt sophomore has been an instrumental part of the Mavericks’ 20-5 overall record this season and has consistently paced the offense. She leads the team in assists (977), service aces (49) and assists per set (11.36) while ranking fifth nationally in that last category. Heading into their regular-season finale, the Mavericks built a 12-match win streak before securing the No. 3 seed at the upcoming RMAC Volleyball Tournament. The Severance, Colo., native holds a flawless 4.0 grade-point average as an elementary education major.
 
Of the 10 student-athletes honored on the first team, six institutions are represented, headlined led by VanDeList and Regis’ Nadine Burbrink who each hold 4.0 GPAs.
 
Metropolitan State University of Denver leads the way with a trio of first-team selections, followed by Colorado Mesa and Regis with two honorees apiece. Black Hills State, Colorado State University Pueblo and Colorado School of Mines round out the first team with one roster spot each.
