Harvey paced F&M in hitting percentage (.340), kills (358) and blocks (56) and finished tops in the CC in hitting percentage, second in both kills and points (4.11 per game) and 10th in blocks.

Senior Melissa Cole and freshman Meagan Donohoe received American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America Honorable Mention honors as announced by the AVCA Tuesday afternoon. The two are Johns Hopkins' first All-Americans since 2005.

Last week, both Cole and Donohoe were named to the All-Centennial Conference First Team and the All-Mid-Atlantic Region First Team after helping the Blue Jays to their first ever Centennial Conference crown and trip to the NCAA Regional Tournament.

Cole finished her impressive four-year career with the Blue Jays with 1,023 digs and 784 kills. This season, Cole collected 307 digs and averaged 3.37 digs per set. The outside hitter finished the season with 248 kills and 31 blocks. Cole is a two-time All-Centennial Conference honoree and served as one of the three team captains this season.

Donohoe was one of seven freshmen to make the AVCA All-America teams and the first freshman for Hopkins to be awarded the honor. Donohoe finished her first season with the Blue Jays with a team-leading 267 kills and .321 hitting percentage. The right side hitter had 32 blocks, 14 service aces and 47 digs to her credit as well. The freshman was named CC Player of the Week twice, September 20 and October 25, for two of the Blue Jays' three weekly honors.
