LEXINGTON, Ky. - The American Volleyball Coaches Association released the 2019 Division II All-America Volleyball Teams on Tuesday, and Tiffin's Jenna Huffman received Third Team honors.
Huffman becomes Tiffin volleyball's first-ever All-American, capping an incredibly decorated and historic four years in a Dragon uniform.

With just eight teams left in competition during the upcoming final weekend of the Division II NCAA Championship, Huffman is currently leading all of Division II with 4.76 kills per set, 5.34 points per set, 13.21 attacks per set, and 562 total kills. She is also third in total attacks with 1,559. Her 4.76 kills per set is a new single-season record for both Tiffin and the GMAC.
In Tiffin's 32 matches in 2019, Huffman recorded double-digit kills in all but four contests, including 13 times with 20 or more kills. She was especially dominant down the stretch, finishing with over 10 kills in each of the last 10 matches, including over 20 in six of the final eight.
This year, the senior became the only Tiffin volleyball player ever to compile over 1,500 career kills, 1,000 career digs, and 400 career blocks. She surpassed the digs mark on Oct. 8 against Slippery Rock, and blew past the the kills milestone on Oct. 25 in a big GMAC win over Cedarville.

In the Dragons' history as a member of Division II, Huffman also holds the career records in kills, kills per set, points, attempts, solo blocks, block assists, total blocks, sets played, and matches played.
In addition to the kills per set single-season record, Huffman also holds the best hitting percentage mark (.391, 2018) and second-highest kills total (562, 2019) in one season in program history.
