LEHIGH VALLEY WEATHER

Two local volleyball players awarded

Bethlehem residents and Northampton Community College sophomores, Anna Domyan and Ashley McCauley, were named to the Region XIX All-Tournament Team and the All Region First Team amid a NJCAA Division III District H championship for the Spartans earlier this month.

Domyan was also named Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Player of the Year, and McCauley was named MVP for the Region XIX All-Tournament Team.

The undefeated Spartans headed into the District H championship final against Sandhills Community College, defeating the Flyers 25-15, 21-25, 25-17, 25-19 for a berth in the National Junior College Athletic Association National Tournament in Rochester, Minn.

McCauley had 46 assists and 14 digs in the district final, and Sawyer Hoyak, a defensive specialist from Bethlehem Township, had seven digs.

At the national tournament this past weekend, the seventh-seeded Spartans defeated Eastfield College in five games, 15-25, 27-25, 28-30, 25-15, 16-14 to finish in fifth place.

Domyan had 16 kills and 18 digs, and McCauley had 48 assists and nine digs.

Also at nationals, Northampton Community College defeated Montgomery County Community College but lost to Central Lakes. It was the Spartans' only loss this season.

McCauley, the NCC record-holder in assists, also set a school record this year with 1,048 assists, as did Domyan, who is NCC's all-time leader in kills.
