Ceriello named to UAA All-Association second teamVolleyball Co-captain Theresa Ceriello '03 was selected to the University Athletic Association second team. She started for the Judges in all four years of competition.

This season, she led the team with 8.53 assists and 3.32 digs per game. Her assist average was good for sixth in the UAAs and her digs for seventh, according to Sports Information Director Adam Levin.

Ceriello started all 31 of the team's matches, playing in all 114 games this season. On offence, she registered 179 kills, good for fourth on the team, and assisted on 968 points. Her 968 assists were 945 more than the total of her nearest teammate. Her 43 serving aces were good for third on the team.

On defense, Ceriello blocked - either solo or assisted - 27 shots. She did, incidentally, record the same number of blocking errors.

"Theresa is a core player on our team. She is a leader on and off the court and is an amazing volleyball player," Co-captain Marni Kutok '04 said. "Her spot is going to be hard to fill next year because of the dedication and intensity she brings to the team every time she steps out on the court, whether it be in a practice or in a game."



Marien named to Academic All-District team

Tracy Marien '03 was named to the Verizon Academic All-District first team for the second time. As a fencer, she was named to the at-large team in the spring, Sports Information Director Adam Levin reported.

A defensive specialist who started as a setter in high school, she recorded 10 or more digs in a match 13 times, Levin reported.

Marien is a double-major in chemistry and biology and has never failed to be on the dean's list. She took the MCATs last spring and will take a year off before medical school.

To be eligible for the Academic All-District team, a student-athlete must have completed at least one year of study, be a significant contributor to the team and have a GPA of atleast 3.20. For her effort, Marien will be placed on the national ballot for Academic All-America honors.

Over the course of the season, Marien started in nine of the team's 29 matches and appeared in 98 games overall. She finished the year with 229 digs, averaging out to 2.34 per game.

"Tracy had a great season this year, perhaps her best," Co-captain Marni Kutok '04 said. "She is a strong defensive player for the team. Off the court, Tracy brings a lot of laughs because of her great sense of humor and amazing personality. She will be missed alot next season.
