Toohey Named AVCA South Region Honorable Mention

12/7/2006 | Volleyball

OXFORD, Miss. Ole Miss senior Jaclyn Toohey was named South Region Honorable Mention by the American Volleyball Coaches Association when the organization’s regional teams were announced recently. It is the second time this season Toohey has been honored with recognition on an all-conference or regional team for her performance on the court.

 

It is the first time a Rebel player has been named as a part of a Regional team since Trisha Eastburn in 1978.

 

“I could not be happier for Jaclyn to have been recognized for all of her hard work this season and the way she has performed on the court,” Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin said. “For her to be honored on this level speaks volumes about what she was able to do this season.”

 

Toohey, an outside hitter from Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas, is the first All-SEC selection from Ole Miss since Kira Zschau was named to the honor in the 2000 season. She finished the regular season fourth in the SEC in kills, averaging 4.48 per game as she helped lead the Rebels to the record season.

 

The senior broke the 20 kill mark six times this season, including five wins for the Rebels, including: Kentucky (21), at Arkansas (27), Memphis (21), at Auburn (28) and No. 11 LSU (25). She was named the SEC Player of the Week twice during the season, becoming the first Rebel to receive overall Player of the Week selection since Susan Argue in the 1997 season.

 

She recently led the Rebels against sixth-ranked and fifth-seeded Southern California in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament with 14 kills in the match with the Women of Troy. It was the first-ever NCAA Tournament bid for Ole Miss. Southern California has advanced to play in the Sweet 16 this weekend.

 

Toohey was also named to the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team for her efforts in the community. The senior has participated in Toys for Tots, a canned food drive in the community and been a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. She has also participated in mission trips to Mexico, San Antonio and New York City.
