men’s volleyball sensation Matt Zbyszewski has been named to the
American Volleyball Coaches Association All-American First Team.
Zbyszewski, a 6-4 senior (junior eligibility) outside hitter,
was also selected as the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball
Association Player-of-the-year.
He led the nation with 6.65 points per game and 5.57 kills per
game. He hit .327 during the season while ranking third nationally
in aces per game at 0.54.
Zbyszewski (Toronto, ON, Canada) reached the 30 kill mark four
times in the 2004 season, and was held under the 20 kill mark
in just 10 of IPFW’s 24 matches. He is also nationally ranked
in blocks per game (1.00) and digs per game (1.92).
Zbyszewski joins Hector Soto (1999, 2000) and Lloy Ball (1992,
1994) as IPFW First Team All-Americans. He will also be named
All-American in the upcoming issue of Volleyball Magazine.
Junior setter Carlos Moreno of Brigham Young University was
named the 2004 AVCA Player of the year.
The awards were announced last night (5/5) at the NCAA Men’s
Volleyball National Championship Banquet in Honolulu, Hawaii.
