KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- The National Christian College Athletic Association has released the 2022 awards for Division II Women's Volleyball, and Mattie Bumpus and Emily Johnson have been named as All-American First-Team selections.
Bumpus earns the honor after being named as NCCAA DII National Player of the Year tonight at the NCCAA DII National Awards Banquet for women's volleyball. Bumpus has amassed a career-high 335 kills and 99 blocks this season, and she is tied for 1st in the entire NCCAA DII in total blocks and is second in blocks per set with 0.98. Bumpus was named as the national student-athlete of the week in October and led the Sabercats to a 14-match winning streak, which was the program's longest since 2014.
Johnson earns the honor for the second straight year after earning NCCAA North Region 1st Team honors earlier this month. Johnson fueled the Sabercats' offense all the way through regionals, compiling a career-best 920 assists while contributing 269 digs and 43 kills. Johnson climbed to second all-time in program history with 2,436 career assists.
Bumpus, Johnson, and the Sabercats prepare for pool play at the NCCAA DII National Tournament tomorrow, beginning at 9:30 AM Eastern with a clash against #5 Toccoa Falls College.
