GREENSBORO, N.C. – No. 5 seed Georgia Tech volleyball (20-7, 13-5 ACC) received five All-ACC selections as voted on by the league’s head coaches, the conference office announced on Monday. Senior outside hitter Julia Bergmann and graduate middle blocker Breland Morrissette fronted the group, each being recognized as First Team All-ACC honorees, while senior middle blocker Erin Moss, junior setter Bella D’Amico and sophomore outside hitter Bianca Bertolino each earned Second Team All-ACC honors.
Bergmann bolsters her decorated career by earning her sixth yearly ACC honor, picking up her third consecutive First Team All-ACC honor on top of last season’s ACC Player of the Year crown as well as ACC Freshman of the Year and ACC All-Freshman awards during her first season on The Flats. The vaunted outside hitter has already racked up a multitude of weekly awards this season, including a GameChanger Division I National Player of the Week from the AVCA for the second time in her career on top of four ACC Player of the Week recognitions to match her season total a year ago. Bergmann continues to make waves in Tech’s record books as she’s up to sixth in program history in career kills (1,708), tied for ninth all time in single season kills (515) and is fifth on The Flats in career aces (162). Now one of five Yellow Jacket members of the 1,500 kill/1,000 dig club, the “Ger-zilian” also tied the program record in single-match kills with 38 in a reverse sweep of Florida State this season and is only Yellow Jacket with four matches of 30 or more kills in a career. Bergmann continues to lead the ACC by a wide margin on the attack, ranking ninth in the NCAA in kills (515) and 10th in points (577.5) while placing third in the nation in both kills per set (5.31) and points per set (5.95).
Morrissette continues to progress year after year, earning First Team All-ACC honors for the first time in her career. The Birmingham, Ala., native now owns two yearly ACC honors after being recognized as Second Team All-ACC a season ago. The staunch middle blocker has capitalized on her super senior season by leading the league and placing seventh in the nation in hitting percentage at a .434 clip. Owning over a block per set, Morrissette has now achieved 100 blocks in a season in back-to-back years. Leading the team in both hitting percentage and total blocks (101), Morrissette’s season has been highlighted by an Ole Miss Invitational all-tournament team…
