| PHILADELPHIA,
PA - Dayton junior middle blocker Faye
Barhorst and senior teammate Nicole Schott
earned 2005 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and
Setter of the Year honors, respectively, in
voting conducted among the Conference's head
coaches.

ranks 22nd nationally. She is third in the
Conference in blocks (1.31) and fourth overall
in kills per game (3.97). A native of Fort
Loramie, OH, the junior was twice named the A-10

She helped lead Dayton to the top-seed in this
weekend's Atlantic 10 Volleyball Championship.

the Conference. She ranks second all-time at UD
