COLUMBUS, Ohio – The American Volleyball Coaches Association announced today that Ohio State outside hitter Stacey Gordon (Jr., Oshawa, Ontario) has been named to the 2003 AVCA Mideast All-Region Team. The 12-member team is selected by a committee of coaches. It marks the third time Gordon has been named to the team.
Gordon was Ohio State’s team leader in kills (708), kills per game (6.62), hitting percentage (.279), aces (44), aces per game (.41), digs (386) and digs per game (3.61). She tied for fourth in total blocks (67) with 13 solos and 54 assists and tied for fourth in blocks per game (.63). Named to the All-Big Ten squad for the third year, she finished the conference season as the Big Ten statistical champion in kills per game at 6.77. Gordon ranked six in digs (3.56), seventh in aces (.32) and 14th in hitting percentage (.283). With an overall 6.62 kills per game average (708 kills, 107 games), Gordon has set the all-time Big Ten record, previously held by Ohio State’s Vanessa Wouters at 6.43 (765 kills, 119 games) in 1996.
