BRUNSWICK — Three Bowdoin College volleyball players were named All-Conference performers by the New England Small College Athletic Conference on Wednesday.

Sophomore Katie Doherty led the way for Bowdoin, collecting Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors and earning First Team All-Conference.

Junior Christy Jewett was also named as a First Team All-NESCAC selection, while sophomore Quincy Leech was tabbed as a Second Team All-Conference choice.

Doherty is Bowdoin’s second consecutive Defensive Player of the Year recipient, following Taylor Vail last fall. Taking over at libero early in the season, Doherty was outstanding, leading the conference with 552 digs, ranking second in digs/set (5.06) and eighth in service aces (45). Her 552 digs are a Bowdoin record for a singleseason.

Jewett continued to establish herself as one of the top offensive players in the nation, racking up a NESCAC-best 399 kills while standing second in service aces (61) and ninth in digs (300). She is six kills shy of the school’s single-season record and her 915 career kills stand fifth all-time at Bowdoin. Jewett was a Second Team All-NESCAC performer last fall.

Leech collects her first postseason honor following a great campaign sparking the Bowdoin attack. The sophomore setter ranked among the top 10 in the conference with 698 assists and 6.40 assists/set. She also posted 199 digs for the Polar Bears. After just two seasons, Leech’s 1,243 assists are fourth all-time in Bowdoin history.

The Polar Bears will continue their season this weekend as they compete in an NCAA Regional at Williams College. Bowdoin (21-8) will play Regis in a first round match today at 3 p.m.
