NYU Honors April 23

General

Violets Receive Multiple Honors

Clark, Luangtana-anan, Dunn, Kagan and Knudsen Recognized

Members of New York University's men's golf, baseball and men's volleyball teams were honored by the Liberty League, University Athletic Association (UAA) and American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).

Most notably, men's volleyball's Ry Kagan was named Second Team All-America by the AVCA while Zach Knudsen received All-America Honorable Mention accolades.

Additionally, men's golf's Drew Clark (Performer of the Week) and Jomyuth Luangtana-anan (Rookie of the Week) were recognized by the Liberty League while baseball's Cam Dunn received UAA Athlete of the Week - Hitter kudos.

Kagan and Knudsen have helped lead NYU men's volleyball to its first NCAA Final Four in program history, where they take on UVC rival Vassar College in the national semifinal Friday, April 26, in Dubuque, IA.

Kagan ranks third on the team with 2.37 kills per set on a team-best .403 hitting percentage among players with 10-or-more sets played. Kagan's 309.0 points are third on the Violets, largely thanks to his 109 blocks while his 1.09 blocks per set lead the team and rank 10th in all of Division III.

Knudsen has compiled 243 digs for 2.43 digs per set as NYU's stalwart libero. He ranks fifth in the United Volleyball Conference (UVC) in digs per set, helping keep NYU's opponents to a .201 hitting percentage throughout the season.

Clark won the Farmingdale Spring Invitational over the weekend, shooting a combined one-under the 70-par course for the two days. Luangtana-anan was close behind in third place, recording a combined two-over par.

Dunn went 10-for-19 at the plate across NYU's UAA series with Case Western Reserve University over the weekend, recording two doubles and driving in a pair of runs.
