November 14, 2007 - Hillsdale College seniors Melissa Bartlett and Megan Howard were awarded as being two of the top players in the Great Lakes Region Wednesday morning.

Bartlett was named to the Daktronics First-Team All-Region, while Howard was named Second-Team All-Region. Votes were cast by sports information directors throughout the Great lakes Region, which covers the GLIAC, GLVC and the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Bartlett, who last week was named GLIAC Player of the Year, has been among the top outside hitters in the nation this season. Her 622 kills are second on Hillsdale's single-season list, and she is second on the team in digs. She was named GLIAC South Division Player of the Week four times, and has more than 1,000 kills in two seasons with the Chargers.

Howard, a co-captain of the team, is Hillsdale's all-time leader in digs with 2,116. She is second in career service aces with 160, and has helped lead the team to four consecutive seasons of 19 wins or more for the first time in school history. She is the only libero to be named GLIAC South Division Player of the Week, winning the award in 2005 and again this season.
