Big Rapids, Mich. - Ferris State University senior outside hitter Allyson Cappel (Tinley Park, Ill.) has been selected as the 2019 Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA) Midwest Region Volleyball Player of the Year in voting conducted by the region's sports information directors.

A total of 14 student-athletes from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (GLIAC), Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) and Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC), earned Midwest Region Team honors.

This year also marks the fourth consecutive year in which Cappel has been named to the D2CCA All-Region Team. She was a second-team choice as a freshman in 2016 and has earned first-team honors in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Cappel was chosen as the GLIAC Player of the Year for the third-straight season after guiding FSU to the program's sixth-straight league regular-season championship. A three-time All-American, Cappel has tallied a team-leading 443 kills along with 330 digs, 36 blocks and 35 aces as FSU's most versatile weapon.

This season, Cappel and the Bulldogs have compiled a 25-5 overall record and FSU also won a sixth consecutive GLIAC Tournament Championship.

Ferris State will make its ninth consecutive and 24th all-time NCAA Division II Tournament appearance this week as the Bulldogs open play in the Midwest Regional as the fourth-seed against fifth-seeded Rockhurst (Mo.) on Thursday (Dec. 5) evening with match time set for 6 p.m. (ET) in Romeoville, Ill.
