Johnson Named to PBC Preseason All-Conference Team
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Senior right side hitter Katie Johnson (Alabaster, Ala./Thompson) of the University of Montevallo women's volleyball team was named to the Peach Belt Conference Preseason All-Conference Team as selected by the coaches. She becomes the first Montevallo athlete to earn an honor from the PBC.
Johnson led the Falcons in hitting percentage and was ranked third on the team in both kills and blocks while turning in 80 aces and 1.67 digs per game in 2008.
Defending PBC Champion Armstrong Atlantic State led the All-Conference team with three selections while newcomer Flagler came in second with two selections. Montevallo joined Augusta State, Lander and UNC-Pembroke with one selection each.
Johnson along with her teammates will take to the court for the first time this season on Aug. 28 as the team heads to Pensacola, Fla. to compete in the Comfort Inn-vitational hosted by the University of West Florida. The first chance fans will get to see the Falcons at home inside Bank Trust Arena will be Sept. 5-6 as the Falcons host the University of Montevallo Classic.
