MAGNOLIA, Ark. – Southern Arkansas libero Mallory McKee and middle blocker Maggie Ross have been named to the All-Gulf South Conference West Division volleyball team, released Wednesday by the conference office. Both were second team selections.
A 5-4 senior out of Coppell, Texas, McKee spearheaded the Lady Mulerider defense over the past four years. She ends her career at SAU as the all-time leader in digs with 2,297, adding to the record this year that she set during her junior season. McKee also set the career mark for digs per set, at 5.47. She led this year’s squad with her fourth consecutive season of 500-plus digs, picking up 549, while averaging 4.99 per set, and led the team with 50 service aces.
McKee was twice named the GSC West Division Player of the Week this year. She set the school season record of 6.08 digs per set last year and has the top four seasons at Southern Arkansas in that category. Her 42 digs against Arkansas-Monticello this year is second all-time, just two shy of her school record 44 against Ouachita Baptist in 2007, and she owns four of the top five school marks in that category.
Ross, a 5-9 sophomore from Waxahachie, Texas, led the Lady Muleriders in kills (293), kills per set 
(2.71), attack percentage (.292), points (386.5), and shared the team lead with 80 total blocks. The two-year starter also had 33 service aces and 104 digs.
