Hranicka Garners All-ACC Freshman Team Honors

GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the second consecutive season, the NC State volleyball team had a player selected to the All-ACC Freshman Team. Blayke Hranicka claimed this year's honor, as announced by the conference office Wednesday.

The Denver, Colo., native is the Wolfpack's leading point scorer this season with 393 to her credit. Hranicka tallied the second-most blocks on the squad with 136 and also charted 35 service aces, the second-best total on the team.

Offensively, she has logged double-digit kills in 12 matches to compile 281 for the year, which is the fourth-most on the squad. Hranicka swatted a career-best 17 kills on two occasions this season, at home against Wake Forest and Miami.

In the Wolfpack's 3-0 win against Tennessee, Hranicka matched the program record with 12 blocks. It stands as the most blocks in a three-set match by a player in the ACC this season and most by a freshman in the NCAA.

The NC State middle blocker has tallied the fifth-best attacking percentage in the ACC and the highest for a freshman in the conference.

Last season, Kaitlyn Kearney claimed the honor, as the future of the NC State volleyball team looks very bright.

The Wolfpack will conclude the season at Wake Forest Saturday afternoon. First serve is slated for 1 p.m. inside Reynolds Gym.
