Heredia Colon, Lopez Earn All-ACC Honors

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Two University of Miami volleyball student-athletes earned All-ACC honors, the conference announced Monday afternoon.

Junior Flormarie Heredia Colon was named to the All-ACC First Team, while sophomore Grace Lopez claimed All-ACC Second Team honors.

Heredia Colon notched her third straight All-ACC honor and first first-team selection. From Santo Domingo, she led the ACC in kills (490) and points (562.5) for the majority of the season, while maintaining second in points per set (4.93) and kills per set (4.30). In addition to her dominant stats, Heredia Colon earned ACC Offensive Player of the Week after leading her team to an undefeated weekend.

In her second season as a Hurricane, Lopez finished the regular season fifth in total points (470) in the ACC, while claiming sixth in total kills (400). She was also named ACC Offensive Player of the Week twice. With the accolade, Lopez has gone back-to-back in conference honors, as she was selected to the All-ACC First Team and All-Freshman team last season.

The Hurricanes earned their 13th NCAA Volleyball Championship bid on Sunday and will face the South Dakota State Jackrabbits at 5:30 p.m. ET in Lincoln, Neb., in the first round of the championship.
