SIU volleyball receives postseason rewards
The SIU volleyball team received some good news shortly after concluding the season with a disappointing record of 7-23.
SIU freshman outside hitter Haley Hann was named to the Missouri Valley Conference All-Freshman Team after posting a remarkable inaugural season for the Dawgs.
Hann started 29 of 30 matches for the Salukis and finished second on the team in kills (253) and block assists (69) and third in kills per game (2.26), total blocks (74) and blocks per game (.66).
Hann had a career-high 21 kills and .400 hitting percentage in a win against Evansville Oct. 18 at Davies Gymnasium.
Also receiving honors for the Salukis were junior libero Erica Miller and senior outside hitter Kelly Harman.
The two were named to the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team, which goes to starters or important reserves with at least a sophomore standing who have maintained at least a 3.00 cumulative grade-point-average.
Miller holds a 3.84 GPA in the rehabilitation services and physical therapy assistant program and Harman has a 3.65 GPA in civil engineering.
Men's basketball to sponsor kids' clinic Sunday
The SIU men's basketball team will sponsor a basketball clinic for all boys and girls grades three through eight on Sunday at the Recreation Center from 2 to 4 p.m.
It takes just two cans of food or a new toy to attend the clinic. Food will be donated to local pantries, and the toys will be given to the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program.
Participants will receive a T-shirt, a one-day pass to the Recreation Center, a Saluki Basketball poster and a free ticket to an SIU men's basketball home game.
Call the Saluki Basketball office at 453-4667 to register your child.
