Lewis-Clark State College junior Anile Clemente has been named to the 2008 Tachikara-NAIA Volleyball All-America Second Team as selected by the NAIA Volleyball All-America Selection Committee.

Clemente, who is from Sorocaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil, was a third-team selection a year ago.

The 5-foot-11 outside hitter enjoyed another outstanding year in the program and helped the Warriors to a 30-4 record and a berth in the NAIA national tournament for the second straight year. It’s only the fourth time LCSC has won 30 matches in a season. LCSC won the Frontier Conference regular season and tournament titles for the second straight year, and then defeated Shawnee State in the opening round of the NAIA national tournament to advance to pool play. The Warriors finished 1-2 in pool play at Sioux City, Iowa.

Clemente was voted the conference’s Player of the Year this season after sharing the award with Angie Johnson of Westminster a year ago. She also was selected to the All Region I team for the second straight season.

Clemente led the Warriors in kills this season with 436 and service aces with 65. She also was third in hitting percentage at .277 and second in digs with 366.

Clemente also was honored as the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association Player of the Year for Region I and is eligible for the organization’s All-America team. She was a third-team selection last year.

The NAIA All-America first team was dominated by California players, including four from national champion Fresno Pacific. Shu Liu was named the national Player of the year for the second straight season while Concordia of California coach Paula Weishoff earned Coach of the year honors.
