NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Senior outside hitter
Cat Dailey of the Yale volleyball team has been selected to the
ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District First Team, as
announced today by the College Sports Information Directors of
America (CoSIDA). The Newport Beach, Calif. native currently leads
the Ivy League with 4.12 kills per set and ranks in the Ancient
Eight top 10 in hitting percentage, digs and service aces.
Dailey, the 2008 Ivy League Player of the Year, has averaged 4.12
kills and 3.23 digs per set this season, guiding the Bulldogs to a
17-3 record. She is hitting .277 and has also contributed 19

Nominees for the Academic All-District distinction must earn a
cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30 and excel
athletically as a starter or key reserve. Dailey, who holds a 3.41
grade point average as a History major, is the lone Ivy League
