McCutchan Earns AVCA All-Region Honors

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The postseason accolades continue to roll in for Case Western Reserve University record-breaking senior middle hitter Tricia McCutchan (Hamilton, Ohio/Stephen T. Badin), as she was recently selected to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Great Lakes Region team.

McCutchan, an honorable mention pick, has already been named first-team Capital One Academic All-District VII and first-team All-University Athletic Association this fall.

Also an AVCA honorable mention selection as a freshman in 2008, McCutchan became the first Spartan since CWRU Hall of Famer Lindsey Deyer in 2000 to earn first-team All-UAA honors. In 2011, McCutchan led the UAA with 457 kills, while ranking second with 116 blocks and seventh with a .316 hitting percentage. She also posted 277 digs while playing in all 118 sets.

A four-time All-UAA selection and two-time Capital One Academic All-American, she concluded her career with the CWRU records for kills (1,917), sets played (495) and blocks (489) in addition to earning UAA Athlete of the Week honors seven times.
