IRVING, Texas – Lara Kretschmer of the Charlotte volleyball team has been named to the preseason all-conference team for the American, announced by the league office on Monday morning.
Kretschmer, a graduate student from Berlin, Germany, led Charlotte in points (380.5), kills (265), service aces (32), and total blocks (143.0) a season ago. She played in all 118 sets, and her average of 1.21 blocks per set ranked tops in the American Athletic Conference.
