Schaffner Earns Academic All-District Accolades

Sophomore Erin Schaffner (North Canton, Ohio / GlenOak) of The College of Wooster was voted on to the 2004 Academic All-District Volleyball Team, receiving third-team honors to mark her first such postseason award, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Thursday.

On the volleyball court, Schaffner was Wooster’s second-leading hitter, averaging 3.16 kills per game and compiling a .191 hitting percentage this past year. She also registered 154 digs (1.59 per game), 31 total blocks (0.32 per game), and 28 service aces (0.29 per game) in 2004.

For her career, Schaffner has already tallied 730 kills – seventh-best on the school’s all-time list.

In the classroom, Schaffner has earned a perfect 4.00 grade-point average through her first two college semesters and plans on majoring in biology. She’s the daughter of Robert and Kathleen Schaffner.

Schaffner was one of the key players in the Scots’ 21-9 season, which ended with just their second trip to the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament semifinals in the last 10 years.

The 2004 academic all-district volleyball team consisted of 18 members, all of whom were key players with minimum 3.20 GPA’s from the college division (NCAA Div. II and III, and NAIA) in Wooster’s five-state area (Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee). The honorees were determined by a vote by CoSIDA.
