The sophomore adds this distinction to her First Team All-SSAC accolade that she earned in November.
After becoming the first Wolf Pack volleyball player to be named First Team All-SSAC since 2012 in November, Loyola University New Orleans standout middle blocker Allison Hartmann (SO/Slidell, La.) added to her postseason accolades on Thursday afternoon by being named Second Team All-State by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA).
The Slidell native had a breakout year in her second season with the maroon and gold; leading the squad and ranking seventh in the league with 381 kills while sitting sixth in the conference with a .302 hitting percentage. Her 96 total blocks and 0.7 blocks per set were eighth most in the SSAC and her 2.9 kills per set were good enough for ninth in the league.
Nationally, Hartmann ended the 2016 campaign with the 48th best hitting percentage in the NAIA and the fifth highest mark in Loyola volleyball history.
In 38 matches, Hartmann notched double-digit kills 21 times, highlighted by a 20-kill performance against Middle Georgia State on September 18. She collected six blocks in a match twice this season and recorded at least one block in all but two contests throughout the year.
Hartmann becomes the second Wolf Pack volleyball player to earn Second Team All-State Honors by the LSWA in the past three seasons, joining Eva Allen who earned the honor in 2014 to go along with two career all-state honorable mention nods.
Loyola ended the 2016 season at 15-23 overall with an 8-12 mark in the SSAC. The Wolf Pack qualified for the SSAC Volleyball Championships for the third-straight time under the direction of Head Coach Angela Franke, where they went 1-2 at the Cramton Bowl Multiplex in Montgomery, Ala.
