Three University of Maryland Eastern Shore men’s volleyball players have been honored with Northeast Conference postseason awards for their outstanding performances this season.
Leading the way is Valentine, who captured Northeast Conference Rookie of the Year recognition while also earning a spot on the NEC First Team All-Conference squad. The freshman made an immediate impact in his debut collegiate season.
Joining Valentine in receiving conference recognition are teammates Mills and Haynes, both of whom were selected to the NEC Second Team All-Conference roster for their contributions throughout the campaign.
The honors reflect the strong season put together by the Hawks volleyball program, with three players earning recognition among the conference’s top performers. Valentine’s dual recognition as both the top newcomer and one of the league’s premier players highlights his exceptional first-year campaign.
The Northeast Conference postseason awards recognize the most outstanding student-athletes across the league based on their athletic performance and contributions to their respective teams during the season.
