Calderon-Castro earns Second Team All-NACC award

Sophomore Adrian Calderon-Castro has been selected to the All-NACC Second Team, as announced by the conference Thursday.

Calderon-Castro (Carolina, P.R.) earns his first All-Conference selection after leading the Sabre offense nearly all season long.  He finished the season third in the NACC for kills per set (3.57), fourth for points per set (3.97), and 10th for digs per set (2.29).  Calderon-Castro had six double-doubles on the season ending the year with a 15-kill, 17-dig performance at Concordia Chicago in a four set win.  His offensive prowess saw him record double-digit kills in 17 matches with a career-high of 24 coming in a five-set defeat at Judson.  Calderon-Castro also became just the fourth student-athlete in program history to reach 300 kills in a single season.  Defensively, he finished with double-digit digs seven times with his career-high of 17 coming in the previously mentioned double-double at CUC.  His impact was also felt at the net as he ranked second on the team with 12 solo blocks and 33 total blocks.  Through 49 career matches, Calderon-Castro ranks seventh all-time in Marian history with 542 kills.
