Jan. 24, 2011

AUSTIN, Texas – The 2010 NCAA Semifinalist Texas Longhorns have placed two players on the Volleyball Magazine All-America First Team. Junior middle blocker Rachael Adams and senior outside hitter Juliann Faucette each earn their second honor of the year after receiving first-team lauds from the American Volleyball Coaches Association in December.

Faucette earned her third career Volleyball Magazine honor after earning a first-team nod in 2007 and a second-team honor in 2009. Adams’ award marked the first of her career.

Adams, a Cincinnati, Ohio, native enjoyed a breakout season in 2010, leading the NCAA with her .443 hitting percentage and pacing the Longhorns with her team-best 1.18 blocks per-set. She added All-Big 12 First Team, AVCA All-Central Region and NCAA All-Austin Regional Team accolades to her 2010 honor roll.

Faucette, a San Diego, Calif., native garnered AVCA All-Central Region First Team and All-Big 12 First Team honors in 2010. She also earned Big 12 Player of the Year honors and NCAA Austin Regional Most Outstanding Player honors. Faucette’s 4.55 points and 3.94 kills per-set each ranked fifth-best in the Big 12 Conference. The senior hit .263 on the season.

Texas (27-6) ended its season in the NCAA Semifinals with a loss to eventual national champion Penn State. The Longhorns concluded the year ranked fourth in both the AVCA Coaches Poll and the Volleyball Magazine Poll.
