LSU Volleyball’s Jones Secures All-SEC Second Team Honors
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Madie Jones picked up All-SEC Second Team accolades Monday as announced by the league office. It marks the second straight season that Jones was an All-SEC Second Team performer.
“Madie carried a huge load for our offense all season, and she is certainly deserving of being included on the All-SEC Second Team,” head coach Fran Flory said. “She has been an outstanding student-athlete in all aspects of our program for the past four years and has enhanced the tradition of our program.”
Jones belted a team-leading 389 kills and her 3.64 per set average was eighth in the SEC. She reached double figure kills 21 times and ripped 10-plus kills during all 12 of LSU’s wins during the 2012 season.
During SEC action, Jones raised her mark to 3.84 kills per set which was good enough for sixth place on the conference leaderboard. She cranked a career-best 26 kills versus Georgia along with 25-spike efforts against Alabama and Ole Miss, which were SEC season-bests for a four-set conference match.
Jones finished her career with 1,110 kills, tied for 15th place with former All-American Brittnee Cooper on the program’s all-time list.
LSU's seven-year run atop the SEC Western Division came to a close during the 2012 season. The streak was the second-longest in SEC history only behind Florida's 14-year atop the SEC Eastern Division from 1995-2008. The Tigers are scheduled to return 10 letterwinners in 2013.
