SPRING ARBOR, Mich. – Spring Arbor University junior Keely Hinzman has earned AVCA NAIA All-Region Honorable Mention, adding another accolade to an impressive collegiate career, the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced this week.
 
The recognition comes on the heels of a standout season for the Cougars, who finished 23-10, posted their most wins since 2009, and advanced to the Crossroads League Tournament Semifinals.
