Full ECC Release 

Rockville Centre, NY| Junior Rachel Londot was named ECC Player of the Year and earned First-Team accolades as seniors Danielle Valenza, Indira Rojas, and sophomore Kassie Akouri-Tejedor appeared on the Second-Team as the LIU Post women's volleyball team collected a bevy of end-of-season ECC awards, which were presented by the conference office on Friday afternoon.
 
Additionally, Leah Brady earned ECC honorable mention.
 
For Londot, it's her second All-Conference selection having appeared on the Second-Team a season ago. Her First-Team selection comes after leading her team and finishing third in the conference in hitting percentage (.293). The outside hitter's 390 kill count was good for third in the ECC. Additionally, the Utica, Ohio native is just six kills away from her 1000th kill.
 
Valenza, a three-time All-ECC Second-Team member, collected 343 kills in 32 matches. The senior outside hitter is second on the team in kills and is seventh in the conference in kills per set (3.01). The Hauppauge, NY native has totaled 267 digs on the year and is credited with 67 total blocks, which is good enough for second on the team.
 
Rojas, a two-year member for the Pioneers, recorded a conference second-best digs/set ratio (4.60) and finished second in the conference in digs (524). In her final collegiate season, Rojas ranked third on the team in assists (115) and compiled 40 service aces. The Coamo, Puerto Rico native recorded a career-best 29 digs in the loss to West Liberty on Sept. 1.
 
Despite the two-setter rotation, Akouri-Tejedor led the team in assists with 648 and finished seventh in assists/set ratio (5.49). A first time member of the ECC All-Conference Team, the sophomore setter recorded over 30 assists four time this season, having established a career-high 47 assists in a 3-1 win over Bridgeport on Nov. 7.
 
Brady, has been a wall for the Pioneers this season. The middle blocker leads the conference in blocks per set (1.1) and is second in total blocks (78).

The LIU Post women's volleyball team, who is ranked no. 1 in the region will travel to Rockville Centre, NY to take on the NYIT Bears in the semifinal round of the ECC Championship.
