STONY BROOK, N.Y. ? Stony Brook University senior outside hitter Jackie Ahlers (Stony Point, N.Y.) has earned American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Honorable Mention All-America honors, the organization announced on Wednesday. Ahlers was recently named to the AVCA All-Northeast Region team, making her eligible for All-American honors.

The 2007 America East Player of the Year, Ahlers played in every game of every match as she led the Seawolves to 24 wins and the conference’s regular season crown. She finished first in the conference with 5.08 kills per game and 5.61 points per game, and ended the regular season with the conference's second-best hitting percentage of .339. The 5.08 kills per game also ranked her 14th in the nation.

The three-time AVCA All-Northeast Region selection and now three-time honorable mention All-America had 620 kills on the season which ranks as the third highest single-season total in program history and the 5.08 kills per game is second behind Alarmis Miranda’s 5.56 in 1999.
