Hawaii senior All-American hitter Kanani Danielson and sophomore hitter-middle Emily Hartong today were named to the first team of the AVCA All-West Region squad.

Junior middle Brittany Hewitt was honorable mention.

It was the third all-region honor for Danielson and the first for Hartong. The two are eligible for All-American honors.

The region’s freshman of the year was New Mexico State’s Meredith Hays. The Aggies’ senior setter Jennah DeBries was also on the first team, the only other representative from the Western Athletic Conference on the 14-member team.
