May 03, 2021 | Men's Volleyball
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Senior Joel Schneidmiller was named to the NVA/American Volleyball Coaches Association Division I-II All-America honorable mention team.
This is the outside hitter's fourth award, garnering second team in 2020 and honorable mention in 2019 and 2018. He joins Carson Clark (2009-2012) as the only two Anteater players to receive recognition on an All-America team all four years.
Schneidmiller is one of only two Big West players (Rado Parapunov) to rank in the conference's Top 10 in kills, points, aces and hitting percentage. He ranked fourth in kills (3.66) and fifth in points (4.23) and aces (0.32) per set, while finishing 10th in hitting percentage with a .307 mark.
The three-time first team All-Big West selection tied his career-high with 28 kills and seven block assists against UC San Diego in 2021. The 28 kills were the most by a Big West player and are tied for sixth most in the country this season as well as fourth most all-time by a Big West player. He recorded 33.5 points in that match which is the third most all-time in Big West history and the most by a conference player in 2021.
The outside hitter led UCI in kills in all but three matches this season, recording double-figures in 12 of 16 matches this season. He had one double-double versus CSUN with 14 kills and 10 digs. He fired two or more aces on six occasions, including a season-high four versus UC Santa Barbara.
Schneidmiller ends his career ranked third all-time in UCI aces with 110 in 320 career sets. He also amassed 1,047 kills, 430 digs, 191 total blocks and a .327 hitting percentage.
