BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Illinois Wesleyan University junior Molly May has been named to the 12-member all-Midwest Region volleyball team for Division III schools, as chosen by member coaches of the American Volleyball Coaches Association.

May, a 6-foot-1 middle hitter from Prospect, Ill. (Mt.

Her .307 hitting percentage was fifth best in the conference.

May set a school record with 222 blocks and led IWU with 401 kills and a .313 hitting percentage this fall. After three seasons she has 504 blocks, leaving her No. 2 all-time at Illinois Wesleyan and within reach of LeAnn Genzel’s career mark of 589, set from 1995-98.

The Titans finished with a 22-15 overall mark and were 5-2 and finished third in the regular season phase of the CCIW this fall. IWU placed fourth in the conference tournament.
