Three of The College of Wooster volleyball team's seniors were named to the All-North Coast Athletic Conference Team, highlighted by middle hitter Zoe Zwegat, who earned a spot on the second-team, while outside hitter Paige Parker and right side hitter Erica Skillman claimed honorable mention accolades, as announced by the league Sunday afternoon.

Zwegat has been a dominant blocker throughout her career with the Fighting Scots, finishing first in the league in the category three times, and second once, while ranking among the best in NCAA Div. III each year as well. This season, Zwegat is third in the nation with 1.43 blocks per set, which has come on 31 solo blocks and 129 assists, bringing her career total to 475. In a match against Ohio Northern University on Oct. 9, she became just the second in Wooster history to surpass 400 career blocks. Zwegat is also fourth on the team with 130 kills, and had a career-year at the service line with 25 aces.

Parker, who was also all-NCAC a year ago (second-team), reached several impressive milestones during her senior campaign. Against Denison University on Oct. 1 she surpassed 1,000 career kills, and during a tri-match Oct. 19, she hit the 1,000-dig plateau as well, making her only the third in program history to accomplish both rare feats. She ranked second on the team this year with 248 kills, pushing her career total to 1,126, while also displaying her all-around value with 292 digs, 40 aces, and 35 total blocks.

Skillman has been one of the team's most consistent players throughout her career, and this year she was as reliable as ever, as she paced the group with 264 kills and a .199 hitting percentage. Skillman ranks among the program's best in career kills (903) and blocks (218), but she also showed another wrinkle to her game this season, as she passed out 124 assists while Wooster developed its young setters around her.

The senior class, which also includes Catherine Benton, have won 68 games during their time with the program, and recorded a .527 winning percentage.
