EUGENE, Ore. — A program-record six Ducks earned All-America accolades Wednesday, as announced by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). Hannah Pukis collected first-team honors while Kara McGhee and Morgan Lewis were voted to the second and third teams, respectively. Mimi Colyer, Gabby Gonzales and Georgia Murphy also garnered honorable mention nods.
 
With Wednesday’s announcement, Lewis, McGhee and Pukis become the fourth UO trio to earn AVCA All-America (team) honors in the same season, and the third to do so under head coach Matt Ulmer.
