Angelo State graduate student Adeline Ortman was named Lone Star Conference Volleyball Academic Player of the Year and leads the 14-member LSC 2024 Volleyball All-Academic Team, it was announced by the league officials on Wednesday (Nov. 20).
A student in the Angelo State Master of Business Administration program, Ortman carries a 4.00 grade-point average for both her undergraduate (B.S. management) and graduate careers. She has earned selection to the LSC Volleyball All-Academic team in three seasons (2022, ’23, ’24), twice named College Sports Communicators Academic All-District, and has been recognized on the LSC Commissioner’s Honor Roll six times. On the court, the setter enters the LSC Tournament with a conference-best 11.56 assist average while directing a Rambelles’ offense that posts a .252 attack percentage. Ortman has recorded nine assists-digs double-doubles and five matches with 50-plus assists this season.
Ortman is joined on the LSC Volleyball All-Academic Team by Shaylee Shore, DBU; Lily Bickley, Kiana Fallaha and Payton Murrray, Lubbock Christian; Amy DeWalt and Arianna Fields, Midwestern State; Alyssa Koehl, St. Mary’s; Cara Pool and Tori Woods, Texas Woman’s; Jenna Gray and Gabby Gregorski, UT Permian Basin; Saige Rivera, UT Tyler; and Ainsley Malis, West Texas A&M.
Six 2024 honorees – Shore, Fallaha, Keohl, Woods, Pool and Malis – are repeat All-Academic Team members, each selected in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
The All-Academic Team, selected by vote of the LSC sports information directors, recognizes student-athlete accomplishments in the classroom and on the volleyball court. To be eligible for the All-Academic Team ballot, individuals must maintain a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average and have reached sophomore athletic eligibility.
As the Volleyball Academic Player of the Year, Ortman is a candidate for the LSC Fred Jacoby Academic Athlete of the Year award which is announced in June.
