Nov. 6, 2007

Falcon outside hitter Kelsey Scheele (So., Norwood, Minn. Mayer Lutheran HS) has been named to the first All-WIAC volleyball team and Nina Cooper (Jr., St. Croix Falls, Wis.) has been named to the All-Sportsmanship team.

Scheele, 5-7, played in all 122 games for the Falcons. She led the team with 445 kills and a .220 hitting percentage. She also led the team with 532 digs. Scheele, one of only two sophomores named to the first All-WIAC team, had 30 service aces and 41 blocks. She was named the team's Player of the Week four times. The 532 digs is sixth in a single season.

"Kelsey is a complete volleyball player and that was demonstrated throughout the season. She established herself as one of the top outside hitters in the WIAC by providing the Falcons with valuable stats in hitting and defensive categories. She is a very solid volleyball player and has great court sense. Even though many teams focused on her she always found a way to score," said Falcon Coach Patti Ford.

The league's All-Sportsmanship Team is for individuals that displayed exemplary sportsmanship throughout the season. The team included one member from each school as selected by that school. "Nina is the true essence of team. She has great passion for playing volleyball and works extremely hard on her game. Nina is a gifted leader and her spirit and good humor creates an environment that is fun and enjoyable," said Ford.

The Falcons finished the 2007 season with an 8-26 overall and a 1-7 WIAC record.
