2016 Sep 14

Taylor Austin of Ashburn earned Cornell Invitational All-Tournament honors after leading James Madison volleyball to an undefeated weekend an its best season start since 1999.

Austin was named All-Tournament team after a success weekend on the court.

Austin headed the Dukes' defense with a team-leading 76 digs, averaging 7.30 per set. Offensively, the libero added two service aces and 17 assists to help guide the Dukes to a .328 team hitting percentage over the weekend's tournament sweep.

JMU's 6-1 start to the 2016 season is the best since the 1999 season when the Dukes opened the year winning seven straight contests.
