NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA. – Pace University freshman Kadence Ackmann has been named to the Northeast 10 Conference All-Rookie Team, as announced by the conference on Wednesday afternoon. The outside hitter earned the honor after emerging as one of the league's most productive first-year performers on the volleyball court.

Ackmann finished an impressive freshman campaign with 214 kills, 193 digs, 23 total blocks, and 258.5 points over 77 sets. She also added 19 assists, four service aces, and provided steady work in the back row. Her all-around consistency resulted in seven double-doubles, the most among Pace newcomers and one of the top totals for any freshman in the NE10 this fall.

Throughout the season, Ackmann delivered double-digit kills in 12 matches, including standout showings of 16 kills vs. Felician, 15 kills and 10 digs at Assumption, and 14 kills with 12 digs against Southern Connecticut State. The McKinney, TX. native added nine matches with ten or more digs, reinforcing her role as an anchor defensively as well as a primary offensive option.

Her impact was immediate, with several of her top outings coming during the heart of NE10 competition. Ackmann's combination of power and ball control made her one of the conference's most complete first-year outside hitters.

Ackmann becomes the latest Setter to receive NE10 All-Rookie honors, giving the program a strong foundation moving forward as Pace continues to build momentum within the conference.
