LEXINGTON, Kentucky-- Anna Sash was named All-Region Honorable Mention by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), the national organization announced today.

This marks her first career All-Region honor - 10th honoree since 2019. Sash extends the Wartburg's AVCA All-Region streak to its ninth-consecutive season. 

Sash, a native of Ankeny, Iowa, was named All-Conference after leading the A-R-C in total blocks at 1.21 per set. Her 52 solo blocks ranked third-most in a single season in program history. She paced the Knights with 259 kills and 122.0 total blocks, earning A-R-C Player of the Week honors twice during the year. One of six Knights to appear in every set—and one of just three to start all 27 matches—Sash delivered a career-high 17 kills on Sept. 6 against St. Catherine and a career-best 12 blocks on Sept. 30 versus Loras.

Her season totals included 259 kills, 19 assists, 32 aces, and 69 digs. Across 213 career sets, she has compiled 413 kills, 183.0 blocks, 96 digs, and 23 assists.
