KRAMER & SANDT NAMED TO ALL-REGION SQUAD
BETHLEHEM, PA --- Senior setter Kaitie Kramer (Bethlehem/Bethlehem Catholic HS) and
senior outside hitter Amy Sandt (Allentown/William Allen HS) of the Moravian College
womens volleyball team have been named to the 1999 American Volleyball Coaches Association
Mid-Atlantic All-Region Team.
The duo led the Lady Greyhounds to a 26-8 record this fall and the squads third
straight appearance in the NCAA Division III National Tournament. Moravian won its first
match at the Mid-Atlantic Regional last Friday against Franklin & Marshall College
before being knocked out of the tournament in the regional championship match by Juniata
College. The win was the first for the Lady Greyhounds ever in NCAA Tournament play. In
the past four seasons, Kramer and Sandt have help Moravian post a 102-26 record and earn
the first three NCAA Division III Tournament bids in school history.
Kramer, a four-year starter, broke her own school record for assists in a season this
fall with a total of 1,233. Kramer, who holds the Moravian record for career assists with
4,403, had 124 kills, 375 digs, 55 service aces and 41 blocks this season. Kramer also
holds the school mark for service aces with 205. She is a three-time member of the Middle
Atlantic Conference Commonwealth All-Star Teams.
Sandt, also a four-year starter, set several Moravian records this season. Sandt had 425
kills this season to lift her career total to 1,492 to set the school mark. She also had
a school record 572 digs in 1999 to boost her career record total to 1,665. Sandt also
recorded 46 service aces and 36 blocks this year. Sandt, who has a school record for attack
attempts (3,878), is a three-time member of the MAC Commonwealth All-Star Teams.
Kramer and Sandt are members of the AVCA Mid-Atlantic All-Region Team for the first time
in their careers. The MAC had seven of the 12 spots on the All-Region team with Juniata
claiming three spots and Lycoming College and the University of Scranton each with one
honoree. All members of the All-Region Teams in the AVCAs eight regions are eligible
for the AVCA All-American Teams, which will be announced in early December.
