Lukralle Garners Third Postseason Accolade

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Just moments after Flagler College clinched their second-consecutive Peach Belt Conference Volleyball Tournament crown with a 3-0 win over tournament host Armstrong Atlantic State, conference officials released the 2010 PBC All-Tournament team featuring University of South Carolina Aiken libero Samantha Lukralle.

This is the third postseason accolade for Lukralle (Lindenhurst, N.Y./Lindenhurst) who was tabbed to the PBC All-Academic team early last week and was named the PBC Libero of the Year Friday night at the annual PBC Volleyball Tournament banquet.

She ended USC Aiken’s tournament stretch corralling in a team-high 31 digs in their two matches. She recorded an impressive 634 total digs in the 2010 campaign, shattering the record of 523 digs in a single season that she set as a freshman last year. She also set a school record for most aces in a single match in USC Aiken’s 3-0 victory over Coker College earlier in the season as she delivered 11 aces over the three sets.

Joining Lukralle on the six-member All-Tournament team are two players from the two-time tournament champions Flagler as well as two players from Armstrong Atlantic and one player from the University of Montevallo.
