Former Dos Pueblos Charger Carly Wopat earned All-American honorable mention honors for Stanford when the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced its selections on Wednesday.
Wopat’s Stanford teammate and fellow sophomore Rachel Williams also earned the same honors.
The selections bring Stanford’s total AVCA All-America award count to 68 honors spread over 28 players. It is the first career honors for both Williams and Wopat.
Wopat, a middle blocker from Santa Barbara, Calif., led the Pac-12 in blocks per set (1.63), which ranks second nationally. She is third in the conference with a .383 hitting percentage. An AVCA All-Pacific Region and an All-Pac-12 Conference pick, she was second on the team with 3.16 kills and 4.08 points per set. She earned Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week and Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, becoming the first player to garner both accolades this season. She posted a career high 22 kills versus Cal in the regular season finale, and recorded a career-best 13 blocks against Sacred Heart in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. She was selected to the Rice Invitational, Stanford Invitational and Nike Volleyball Big Four Classic All-Tournament teams.
Williams, an outside hitter from Los Gatos, Calif., led the Cardinal with 4.32 kills per set (fifth in the Pac-12) and 4.96 points per set (fifth in the Pac-12). She led the conference this season, along with teammate Karissa Cook, with 20 double-doubles and registered eight 20-plus kills matches. An AVCA All-Pacific Region and an All-Pac-12 selection, she set new career highs with 24 kills and 22 digs against Duke in the Stanford Invitational. She was named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week after wins over Penn State and Florida in the Nike Big Four Volleyball Classic. She was named the MVP of the Stanford Invitational and Nike Volleyball Big Four Classic, as well as being named to the Rice Invitational All-Tournament Team.
The Pac-12 totaled 12 AVCA All-Americans, including four on the first team. Joining Williams and Wopat as honorable mention selections are Washington State’s Megan Ganzer and Oregon’s Lauren Plum.
