Jackson, MS – Majors sophomore Libero Ashley Zamjahn was recently named to the All-Region South team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
 
Zamjahn's outstanding season continues to gain local, regional and national attention as this marks the first player Head Volleyball Coach Jaime Fisher has ever coached with the Majors to make the All Region Team.
 
Zamjahn was a constant, consistent and strong defender for the Majors this season.  Not only did she lead the conference in digs and digs per set, but also she did so by switching positions halfway through the year.  Zamjahn started the season as an outside hitter.  As the year progressed, Coach Fisher decided to switch Ashley to the role of libero - no easy task by any means.
 
She responded well to the position change as remarkably enough Zamjahn's defensive numbers increased after switching to the role of libero.  Her performance as the libero gained attention across the Southern Athletic Association as well.  Recently, Ashley was named the SAA Defensive Player of the Year and All-SAA First Team Libero.
 
The postseason awards come as no surprise either.  With 5.75 digs per set, which led the conference, and 592 total digs Zamjahn finished the season top 20 in the nation in digs per set (18th).  The Majors will have Zamjahn's excellent play and leadership to rely on for the years to come as well.
 
As a sophomore, Zamjahn has become one of the youngest Majors to win conference Defensive Player of the Year and make the All-Region Team.  She responded well to the position change midway through the season and increased her total numbers to earn a great deal of postseason awards.
 
The Majors are excited to announce the most recent postseason honor for Ashley, as being named All Region continues a list of deserved accomplishments for Zamjahn and the Millsaps Volleyball team.
