BETHLEHEM, Pa. – A pair of Loyola University Maryland volleyball players were named to All-Patriot League teams on the eve of the conference championships.
 
Lauren Link and Kacy Sekunda earned second-team recognition from the conference coaches after leading the Greyhounds' throughout the season.
 
Link, who earned All-Patriot League recognition for the third year in a row, led the Greyhounds in kills during the regular-season with 327, and her 3.41 kills per set ranked second in the conference. Link is a six-rotation outside hitter who is also third on the team in digs with 287, 2.99 per set.
 
Earlier this month, Link reached the 1,000-kill, 1,000-dig milestone in a match at Lafayette. She enters the Patriot League Championships with 1,346 career kills and 1,032 digs. In the Greyhounds' regular-season finale against Bucknell, Link moved into fifth place all-time at the school in kills.
 
Sekunda earned her first All-Patriot League honors this season after a season as a setter and opposite. She has nine triple-doubles this year, tying her for third most in NCAA Division I.
 
She is second to Link in kills for the Greyhounds with 239, an average of 2.49 per set. Sekunda is also second on the team in assists (416, 4.33) and digs (299, 3.11).
