FURMAN'S SIMON NAMED TO ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia -- Furman senior Abby Simon (Simpsonville, S.C.) opened the 2002 volleyball season with a bang, earning All-Tournament honors at the William & Mary Invitational over the weekend.

Simon led the Lady Paladins to a 2-2 record and paced the team with 46 kills, a .321 hitting percentage, and six blocks in the four matches. In addition, Simon ranked second in digs, with 29 to her credit.

A 5-10 outside hitter who prepped at Christ Church Episcopal, Simon is a two-time All-Southern Conference selection and was a preseason all-league pick again this year.
