Filliaga Named All-American Colorado Springs, CO (12/02/2010) - The NJCAA has announced its 2010 Division I Volleyball All-American selections. Dodge City Community College sophomore Emma Filliaga has been named an Honorable Mention selection. Filliaga is the first Lady Conquistador player since 2003 to earn Division I All-American Honors. Filliaga was named the 2010 Jayhawk Western Division Player of the Year after leading the Lady Conquistadors to a 25-9 record and 11-3 in the Jayhawk Western Division. It was Dodge City’s best record since the 2004 season. “It was kind of a shock when I heard the news,” said Filliaga “I knew the hard work during the season was going to have its rewards. I just did not expect this type of award.” “Emma is a perfect example that shows that you can do amazing things when you have the right mindset. She had all the necessary tools to use as a freshman. We made several attempts as a coaching staff to lay the foundation work that she didn’t get prior to coming here.” said Coach Shaun Pohlman. “I did my best to keep her head above water long enough to see there is a rescue boat on the way. Thank goodness she saw it and jumped aboard. It wasn’t easy, but nothing great ever is.” Statistically, Filliaga led the team in kills with 419 kills and blocks with 68 blocks while hit .302, and reached double-digit kills 22 times . As a freshman she had only 170 kills, 39 blocks, hit .230, and only reached double-digit kills 8 times.
