Simon Fraser University senior captain Tessa May capped a stellar volleyball career by being selected to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference All-Conference team for the fourth straight year.

May was one of five players unanimously voted to the first team by conference coaches after finishing second in hitting percentage (.369), sixth in kills per set (3.38), and seventh in points per set (3.94).

Since joining the program from Elphinstone Secondary, the Robert’s Creek native started all but two of the team’s 111 matches. Over that time, the team posted a 61-45 win-loss record. She racked up 1,184 kills and 409 blocks in her career, as part of a four-year winning record.

Earning honourable mention awards were teammates Kirsten Pinkney and Julia Tays.

Earlier, sophomore libero Bianca Te of Burnaby was selected to the All-Academic team for the first time after registering a cumulative GPA of 4.17 in kinesiology. Also making it onto the squad were Jayme Bratsberg, a senior with a 3.94 GPA in molecular biology, and Katerina Dolguikh, a junior with a 4.05 GPA in cognitive sciences.
