Junior middle blocker Amanda Ngo and senior outside hitter Rea Marfatia of the Case Western Reserve University volleyball team each received All-America recognition from the American Volleyball Coaches Association as announced by the AVCA on Wednesday.
Ngo was named to the AVCA All-America Third Team, and Marfatia received AVCA All-America honorable mention. It is the first All-America honors for both in their careers, and the second and third in the history of the program. Both players were also named to the All-Region VII First Team last week.
Ngo, an All-University Athletic Association First Team selection this season, started all 32 matches for CWRU and appeared in 112 sets. She led the team in blocks, totaling 108.0 in 2024 for 0.96 per set (which ranks 64th in Division III). Offensively, Ngo was second on the team with 290 kills, averaging 2.59 per set, and her .300 hitting percentage was the best on the team. Across three seasons, she has 203.0 total blocks, the 13th-most in program history.
Marfatia, who appeared in all 125 sets this season, led the team with 466.0 points (3.73 per set), 406 kills (3.25 per set), and 36 service aces (0.29 per set). She ranked second on the squad with 381 digs (3.05 per set) and has added 42.0 total blocks. Marfatia, an All-UAA First Team selection for the first time in her career, ranked third in the UAA in kills and points per set. During the 2024 campaign, she became the third student-athlete in program history to record at least 1,000 career kills and digs and 100 career aces.
CWRU finished the 2024 season with an overall record of 24-8, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season and fourth time in program history.
