(Lock
Haven, Pa.) – Three
Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania volleyball players were selected as
members of the All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) teams as
released by the conference office this afternoon. Seniors Kelli Crouch (Lancaster/Conestoga Valley) and Shana
Fessette (Plattsburgh, N.Y./Beekmantown Central) earned First Team All-PSAC
West honors, while sophomore Kara Warnke (Aurora, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) was

First Team All-PSAC Western Division selection Kelli Crouch, a
senior opposite hitter, earns her second all-conference nomination in as many
years after recording Second Team honors last season.
