Kerr racked up 50 kills, five aces, and 17 digs in the two games. His performance puts him at 406 kills, 28 aces, and a .373 hitting percentage on the year heading into the NCAA Tournament.
This was Ezeonu’s third AVCA All-American honor. The New Jersey native was an honorable mention in 2022 and earned first-team honors in 2023.
As for Merk, this was the first time he earned second-team honors as he was an honorable mention in 2023. For Rose, this is the second straight year he was named an honorable mention.
