NEW ORLEANS – As the HBCU Athletic Conference Volleyball Championship draws near, the Stillman College volleyball team has picked up hardware from the conference office:
Ava Cameron was named First Team All-Conference, and
Karen White received an honorable mention.
Cameron, a junior from Adamsville, Alabama, led the Tigers' attack with 3.19 kills per set (fourth in the conference) and a .285 attack percentage (third in the HBCUAC). She posted a total of 223 kills. Defensively, Cameron led at the net with 39 total blocks, including 25 solo blocks.
White, a sophomore from Pleasant Grove, Alabama, kept the offense moving with 400 assists (seventh in the HBCUAC). She added 34 service aces and 12 kills. On the defensive side, White finished third on the team with 110 digs.
The Tigers will face Dillard University on Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. at Bossier Parish Community College's Billy Montgomery Gymnasium.
Stillman (9-12, 7-5 HBCUAC) enters the tournament hot after posting a 5-0 record in HBCUAC action down the stretch. The Tigers' nine wins are the most by the program since its return to action in the 2022 season.
