Nov 14, 2019 | Volleyball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State's Brynn Carlson was named to the 2019 CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team while Peyton Williams earned Academic All-District Second Team accolades, as announced by CoSIDA Thursday.
Carlson, a redshirt sophomore outside hitter, boasts a 4.00 grade-point average as a nutrition, dietetics and kinesiology major. A redshirt junior middle blocker, Williams owns a 3.94 GPA as an anthropology and international studies major.
Carlson is K-State's leader with 280 kills this season, a career best, and set a single-match career-high with 21 turned in against New Mexico on September 21. She has 15 matches reaching 10 or more kills and has led or tied for the team lead in 10 matches. The 6-foot-4 native of Woodbury, Minnesota, has also tallied 30 blocks and has a team-high 295.0 points.
Williams is the team's hitting efficiency leader at .316, the fifth-best mark in the Big 12. Her .315 career hitting percentage currently ranks fifth in program history during the rally-scoring era (since 2010). The Topeka product has put down a career-high 220 kills (2.20 per set) to go with 86 total blocks, the second highest on the team.
The academic all-district honors are the first for each in their respective careers, as the duo earns K-State's first academic all-district accolades since 2016 (Katie Brand, Kersten Kober).
First Team Academic All-District honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. First- and second- team Academic All-America selections will be announced December 9-12.
The Wildcats (8-16, 3-9 Big 12) head to Lawrence to take on KU (6-10, 2-4 Big 12) in the season's second Dillons Sunflower Showdown on Saturday at 1 p.m. The match will be broadcast on Big 12 Now on ESPN+. Rob Voelker will also have the call with live, free audio streaming at K-StateSports.com/watch.
