 Mosher |
This is the first time Caldwell has had players included on the AVCA all-Region team, which is selected by a panel of coaches from the East Region. The East Region consists of institutions from the CACC, the Northeast-10 Conference and the East Coast Conference.
McDonough, who also made the Daktronics all-Region second team as well as the all-CACC first team, led the CACC in kills per set (3.79) while ranking seventh in hitting percentage at .227. An excellent all-around player, she also averaged 3.94 digs per set to rank seventh in the league. This season she has recorded 18 double-doubles (kills-digs) while notching 10 or more kills 24 times and 10 or more digs 23 times. A four-time CACC Player of the Week honoree this season, McDonough led the Cougars to their second consecutive CACC championship by averaging 4.36 kills and 4.36 digs per set in three CACC Tournament matches. She was named the CACC Tournament's Most Valuable Player for the second year in a row.
Mosher joined McDonough on the all-CACC first team for the third time in her career after ranking third in the CACC in hitting percentage (.271), ninth in kills per set (2.64) and 13th in blocks per set (0.54) this season. A dominating hitter from the right side, Mosher received CACC Player of the Week honors on Oct. 24 after leading Caldwell to a pair of CACC victories. This season she tallied 10 or more kills 10 times, including 19 kills at Dominican College on Oct. 4 to match her career high.

box score
LAKEWOOD,
N.J. - In a close and exciting championship match, the Caldwell College
volleyball team defeated Holy Family University in four sets to capture
its second consecutive Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament
title Saturday afternoon at Georgian Court University. The Cougars
(26-4) won by scores of 25-23, 25-23, 23-25, 25-21 to earn the CACC's
automatic bid to the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament. Holy
Family, which lost to Caldwell in last year's final, completes its
season at 25-11.
The match was a nail-biter from start to finish, as neither team led by
more than four points in any of the four sets. The Cougars trailed 23-22
in the first set before scoring the final three points, including an ace
by sophomore middle blocker Becca Feczer (Findlay,
OH/Findlay) that gave Caldwell a 1-0 lead. In the second set, the Tigers
built a 21-18 advantage until a kill by freshman outside hitter
Athena Nestoras (Los Angeles, CA/St. Monica) sparked four
straight points for Caldwell. Feczer finished off the set again, this
time with a kill for another 25-23 win.
With Caldwell taking a 21-19 lead late in the third set, it appeared the
match was going to mirror last year's final that was won by the Cougars
in three sets. But the Tigers tallied the next five points and held on
for a 25-23 victory to extend the match. The momentum stayed with Holy
Family in the fourth set, as the Tigers took the lead from the start and
stayed on top, building a 21-19 lead. With a fifth set looming, Caldwell
caught fire, scoring the final six points to win the set and the match,
the Cougars' school-record 13th win in a row. Sophomore middle blocker
Kasey Bausch (Bellmore, NY/Holy Trinity) and junior
right side Amber Mosher (Flanders, NJ/Mt. Olive) put
away the final two kills for the championship.
Junior outside hitter Susan McDonough (Saline,
MI/Saline) led the Cougars with 10 kills and a match-high 20 digs to
earn Most Valuable Player honors for the second year in a row. Nestoras
tied her career high with nine kills, Mosher finished with eight kills
and Bausch and senior setter Lauren Roth (Findlay,
OH/Findlay) had seven kills apiece. Roth also distributed 37 assists and
had 11 digs. Defensively, Feczer racked up eight total blocks, while
Mosher and Bausch had three blocks apiece. Bausch and Roth joined
McDonough on the all-Tournament Team.
Holy Family was led by Sarah Ambach with 13 kills and three blocks.
Caldwell advances to the East Region Tournament, which begins Thursday,
Nov. 17 at a site to be determined. The entire tournament field and site
