(New York, NY) - Yeshiva University Women's Volleyball senior Adira Katlowitz (Brooklyn, NY/Yeshiva Flatbush) and junior Nili Block (Teaneck, NJ/Bruriah) have been named to the 2008 Hudson Valley Women's Athletic Conference (HVWAC) All-Conference team. After leading Yeshiva to a 2-14 overall record during its inaugural varsity season and 2-4 in HVWAC play, Katlowitz and Block became the first Yeshiva University Women's Volleyball players to ever earn All-Conference honors.
Katlowitz averaged 0.59 kills, 1.16 service aces, and 0.75 digs per game during an outstanding overall season. Block emerged as the top defensive standout on the team during the 2008 season, averaging a team-best 2.68 digs per game.
With a successful first varsity season behind them that included a trip to the HVWAC Quarterfinals, Yeshiva looks forward to its second season as at least 11 team members are expected to return for the 2009 campaign.
