Taylor Named Second Team All-PAC

Bethany College senior Anna Taylor has earned postseason honors from the Presidents' Athletic Conference, the league announced today (Tuesday, November 19, 2024).  

Taylor, a libero from Steubenville, Ohio, was named second-team All-PAC in a vote of the conference's head coaches.  

"Anna had an amazing career at Bethany and seamlessly stepped into the captain and libero role this year as a senior," said Bethany Head Coach Jordan Barton. "She will be remembered by opposing coaches as a frustrating player to play against because she rarely let a ball hit the floor and had amazing defensive plays on the regular. She will be remembered by her teammates as a fearless and passionate leader, who worked hard to better herself and those around her every day. I couldn't be more proud of all she has overcome and accomplished." 

She led the PAC, and is currently fourth nationally, averaging 6.36 digs per game. Her digs average is also a modern-day all-time program record. Taylor's 619 digs ranked eighth on the program's modern-day single-season list, while she finished her career ninth on the program's modern-day all-time digs list with 1,306 digs.  

Junior Adriana Gilliam was also named to the PAC Sportsmanship Team. 

Bethany finished the season 8-20
