2019 MEAC Volleyball Postseason Awards

NORFOLK, Va. — North Carolina Central University middle blocker Ammaarah Williams was selected to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) All-Rookie Team as announced by the league office Tuesday.
 
Williams becomes the third Lady Eagle to earn such distinction in the past two seasons, joining Arlanda Faulkner and Morgan Goodwin from 2018. NCCU has a very young roster with 10 players listed as either freshmen or sophomores.
 
In her first competitive season, Williams averaged 1.49 kills, 0.71 blocks, 0.56 digs and 0.29 aces per set playing in all 31 regular season matches for the maroon and gray. She attended Cleveland State University, where she did not play, before transferring to NCCU last year and she red shirted in 2018-19 making her eligible for the All-Rookie Team.
 
Williams reached double-digit kills in four matches, including a season-high 16 kills in a 3-2 win over Bethune-Cookman University. She registered eight blocks in a pair of matches, including eight block assists in a 3-1 victory over The Citadel. Her season-best four aces helped NCCU to a 3-2 conquest of Coppin State University.
 
The native of Cleveland, Ohio, ranks fifth in the MEAC with a .300 hitting percentage. She tallied a hitting percentage over .600 with eight kills each time in a pair of wins (The Citadel, South Carolina State University).
 
Williams was named an NCCU Iron Eagle award recipient for strength and conditioning at the 2019 Eddies.
 
NC Central returns to the MEAC Volleyball Championship for a fourth straight year and is the second seed from the Southern Division. The Eagles will open up play in the quarterfinals against Northern Division third-seeded Coppin State on Friday at 11 a.m. For complete tournament information visit the MEAC Volleyball Championship Central Page.
