The Cal State Northridge duo of junior Casey Hinger and senior Sydney Gedryn earned spots on the honorable mention team.

The 2013 Big West Player of the Year, Emily Hartong (Hawai’i), secured a spot on the AVCA All-Pacific North Region Team last week for her third all-region selection.  Hartong guided Hawai’i to a share of its second straight Big West Conference championship with a 13-3 mark.  The 6-foot, 2-inch outside hitter paced the league and ranked seventh in the nation with a 4.69 kill average, while hitting .294 on the season.  She also tallied a league-leading 5.24 points per set average to place eighth in the country.  Over the course of the season the Los Alamitos, Calif., native collected four Big West Player of the Week awards to increase her career total to eight.  Her first honor of the season came the first week of the season after leading the Rainbow Wahine to a victory over No. 1 Texas, their first win over a No. 1-ranked opponent since knocking off UCLA in 2000.

Hinger earned her second straight all-region and All-America honorable mention honors after leading the Matadors and finishing in the Big West’s top 10 in both hitting percentage and blocks.  The junior middle blocker from Fullerton, Calif., registered the league’s fifth-best attack percentage of .327 while sitting eighth in blocks with a 1.01 average.  Hinger’s efforts this season earned her All-Big West First Team honors for the third time in her career, as well as Big West Player of the Week accolades on Nov. 11

Gedryn, a setter from San Jose, Calif., tallied 1,175 assists this season (10.31 APS) which ranks fourth among Big West setters. Gedryn guided the Matadors to a share of their first Big West championship by directing the Matador offense to a .264 hitting percentage, the second best mark in the conference.  She also ranks third among CSUN blockers this season with 95 total blocks for a .83 average.
