Reading , PA (Nov. 10, 2005) – Alvernia College senior Amy Werley (Fleetwood, PA/Brandywine Heights) and freshman Lauren Crimi (Nazareth, PA/Notre Dame) were both named to the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Women’s Volleyball Honorable Mention Team as announced by the organization on Thursday.

            Werley and Crimi were the only two players to appear in all 82 games for the Crusaders (11-12, 4-6 PAC) this season.  Werley, who is making her first appearance on the all-conference team, finished the season with a team-high 226 kills on 810 attempts.  She tallied a .147 hitting percentage and was second on the team with 111 digs.

            Crimi totaled a team-best 287 digs from a variety of positions.  She started the season as the libero and moved into the starting rotation nine matches into the season.  A few days later she was the everyday setter where she racked up 208 assists in 15 matches.  Crimi also proved to be the team’s most dangerous server with 57 service aces.

            Alvernia senior Lindsay Ganster ( Wilmington , DE / Padua Academy ) was the Crusaders’ representative on the All-PAC Sportsmanship Team.
