Jade Wolfer (Nunda, NY/Keshequa) was named to the E8 Tomorrow's Leaders Team. This team honors a student-athlete who has emerged as a leader not only on the field of play, but in the classroom and in the community. In addition, they "compete with honor and integrity" and have distinguished themselves and consistently exhibit the critical traits as outstanding sportswomen.
 
"I'm so thrilled to hear we've got three All-E8 selections," Head Coach Mike Honeycutt said. "Seniors Delaney [Sims] and Taylor [Malone] (Second Team), along with junior Carleigh [Santavy] (Third Team). It's the third year in a row for Taylor and the second year for Delaney and Carleigh. They all put in a tremendous amount of effort this year, leading our team to great success on the court. They've truly made their mark in our AUVB history books and Carleigh has another year to keep climbing. These selections are well-deserved and I couldn't be prouder of them."
