Lindsey Eshelman made an immediate impact during her first season with the Adrian College volleyball team.

The rest of the nation has taken notice, as Eshelman was named a Third-Team All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. The sophomore also earned a spot on the AVCA's All-Great Lakes Region Team for NCAA Division III.

Eshelman led the Bulldogs in kills, blasting 556 for the year. She also led the nation in kills per game, averaging 5.66.

The Bulldogs finished the season 21-7 overall and advanced to the MIAA semifinals for just the second time in school history since the league tournament was started in 1999.
