BEVERLY, Mass. – Three members of the Endicott men's volleyball team have earned postseason honors from the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC), as announced by the league office earlier today. Daniel Toth (Glenwood, N.J.) was named to the NECC All-Conference first team for the second straight season, while Cameron Little (San Diego, Calif.) and John Osborne (Freehold, N.J.) claimed NECC All-Conference second team accolades to round out the list of honorees for the Gulls.
So far this season, Toth currently leads the NECC in hitting percentage at a .357 clip to go along with his 2.25 kills per set (12th), and 0.93 blocks per set averages (3rd). Toth also ranks No. 22 in blocks per set and No. 24 in hitting percentage nationally among all NCAA Division III men's volleyball student-athletes.
Little, who picked up his first career NECC All-Conference honor earlier today, averaged a conference-best 10.00 assists to aid Endicott to the NECC regular season title and its fourth straight NECC championship this year. Nationally, Little is positioned No. 13 overall in the country in assists per set, while the Gulls rank No. 18 in hitting percentage as a team. In addition to his All-Conference honor, Little also was named to the NECC All-Sportsmanship Team.
