LEXINGTON, Ky.- Senior Beth Robbins, junior Kyleigh Turner and sophomore Lyndsay Callahan each garnered their second all-region honor of 2008.  After being voted first team all-region by Daktronics, the trio recently made the list of the '08 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Midwest Region team.

UIndy is the only school with three players on the squad, while Midwest Region champ Grand Valley and fellow GLVC power Northern Kentucky each had two representatives.

Robbins, Turner, and Callahan were essential cogs in the program's only teams to earn back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths.  All three are eligible for All-American consideration from AVCA.  Click here for more information on these young ladies' accomplishments.
