Four Named to All-Conference Team; Pacis Repeats as Coach of the Year

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Four volleyball players earned Northeast-10 All-Conference honors, including two first-team selections, while Joey Pacis repeated as the Coach of the Year.

Molly Cindric (Westlake Village, CA) and captain Ale Kuncaitis (Canton, MA) earned first-team honors.

Cindric, a three-time Northeast-10 Player of the Week this season and last year’s NE-10 Freshman of the Year, is second in the conference, averaging 3.4 kills per game. She leads the Warriors with 320 kills and 58 blocks. This is her second first-team selection in as many years. Kuncaitis, who was a third-team selection last year, is second on the team in kills and digs.

Sophomore Elyse Lorenz (Frankfort, IL) was named to the second team. Lorenz is second in the conference in assists per game with 10.15 and third in aces per game with .56. She has tallied eight double-doubles and leads the team with 52 aces.

Sophomore libero Alyssa Pickert (Tinley Park, IL) earned third-team honors. Pickert leads the Northeast-10 in digs (489) and digs per game (5.20). A two-time NE-10 Libero of the Week, she has also chipped in offensively with 18 service aces.

Pacis guided the Warriors to a 13-1 conference record and has them in position for their second straight and career NCAA appearance. Merrimack started the season 11-0 in the Northeast-10 for the first time in school history and has not lost on the road this year. They also won 20 games for the first time in school history while advancing to their second-straight Northeast-10 Championship match.

New Haven’s Rhe-Ann Niles earned Player of the Year Honors, while AIC’s Ellisha Terry was the Freshman of the Year. Cassie Kraft from Bentley was named Libero of the Year while Yael Rosner of New Haven earned Setter of the Year Honors. All seven first-team selections hail from New Haven, Bentley or Merrimack.
