NEW ORLEANS – University of South Alabama volleyball senior Mechell Daniel was named to the 2016 Preseason all-Sun Belt Conference team, as announced by the league office Monday.
Daniel, a three-time all-SBC performer, was one of three outside hitters voted preseason all-conference by the league's head coaches. She ranked fourth in the SBC in kills per set (3.58) last year, and was third in kills per set (3.81) in conference contests.
She ranks third on USA's career kills per set list (3.59), fifth in kills (1,198) and 10th in career digs per set (2.54). Daniel has 40 career double-doubles, which ranks second in program history and is just two shy of tying the top mark.
