LEXINGTON, Ky. -- For the third consecutive season, a Montana Tech volleyball player earned All-America laurels.

Senior middle hitter Olivia LaBeau landed a third-team All-America honor from the NAIA and American Volleyball Coaches Association, the organizations announced Tuesday morning.

LaBeau, an interdisciplinary arts and sciences major from Billings, ranked in the top 40 across the NAIA in both blocks (124) and attack percentage (.342) this season, and her 387 kills were the fourth-most in the Frontier Conference. The first-team all-conference performer put down double-digit kills in 21 of Tech's 32 matches this season, including a streak of 10 consecutive matches from August 31-October 11.

She helped lead the Orediggers to a 20-12 record and an at-large berth into the NAIA national tournament. Montana Tech defeated Bushnell in a home opening-round match and earned the No. 15 seed headed into the championship in Sioux City, Iowa earlier this month.

LaBeau's honor marks the third-consecutive season a Montana Tech volleyball player earned All-America honors. Olivia Muir was a third-teamer last season, and Maureen Jessop checked onto the third team in 2022. LaBeau is the ninth All-American in program history.
