CENTER VALLEY, Pa. -- Navy's Krista Eschelman (So., Germantown, Md.) was one of seven players named to the Patriot League's All-Tournament Team following the conclusion of the volleyball championship this past weekend.

Making her first appearance in the postseason with the fourth-seeded Mids, Eschelman tallied seven kills on 14 swings and recorded a team-best six blocks during Navy's semifinal round loss to American last Friday night.

After defeating Navy, the top-seeded Eagles went on to sweep Colgate Saturday night to win their seven league crown in as many seasons. American's Christina Nash was selected as the tournament's Most Valuable Player, with teammates Cynammon Burns, Cassandra Ricketts and Rubena Sukaj named to the all-tournament team.

The Raiders were represented on the all-tournament team by Jackie Adlam and Merryl Pohl, while Army, who lost to Colgate in the semifinals, placed Elizabeth Lazzari on the all-tournament squad.
