Fort Wayne, IN - The WHAC volleyball awards were announced over the weekend and five Wolves players won awards. Junior Kristen Heator was named to the Honorable Mention All-Conference Team. Freshman Sarah Gauer was named to the All-Freshman team, while freshman Katie was honored by being on the Champions of Character Team. Seniors Chelsea McCune and Candace McPherson were on the All-Academic Team.

Heator, who previously played at Lansing Community College, played setter and right side for the Wolves whose season ended last week with a loss to Aquinas in the WHAC playoffs. Due to injuries, the junior setter became a valuable asset when Heator started playing the right side. Gauer, a freshman from Northville, added some much needed offensive to punch to Michigan-Dearborn's lineup. Gauer finished the season third on the team with 221 kills. Peterson, a freshman from Farmington Hills, MI, saw some action this season as a setter and will be expected to share the duties next season with Heator. Seniors McCune and McPherson contributed in the classroom and on the court. With both having GPAs over 3.2, and playing hard for the last four years, their presence will be missed. McPherson, a middle blocker from West Bloomfield, led the Wolves with 92 blocks and was second with 229 kills. McCune, a defensive specialist from Allen Park, was second on the team with 320 digs.
