DUDLEY EARNS NEWVA SENIOR CLASSIC HONORABLE MENTION

BOSTON, Mass. - Emmanuel College women's volleyball senior captain Shannon Dudley (Morro Bay, Calif.) earned recognition as a Senior Classic Honorable Mention from the New England Women's Volleyball Association (NEWVA). 

Dudley is one of just five GNAC athletes to be selected to the regional awards list by the NEWVA this year and the sixth Emmanuel player since 1999 to be honored.

Despite missing the first month of the season due to a surgery, the setter dished out a total of 377 helpers to rank eighth in the GNAC while also collecting 116 digs. The senior dished out double-figure assist totals in all 15 matches she appeared in including a season-high of 42 assists in a 3-1 victory over Lasell College on Oct. 10.

In her four years with Emmanuel, Dudley recorded 2,375 assists to go along with 941 digs. She will graduate ranking third all-time in assists and eighth all-time in digs.

The honor comes just a few weeks after Dudley made her third consecutive appearance on the GNAC All-Conference team, as she was a Third Team selection this season.

As an honoree, Dudley is invited to the 2015 NEWVA Senior Classic, which will take place on Sunday, December 6 at UMass Boston. There will be a skills competition at 10:00 a.m., followed by the all-star match. The entire event is sponsored by Adidas and The Graphic Edge.
