Cynthia Yarotsky, the Montgomery High School product who is the only senior on the 2007 Sam Houston State volleyball squad, has been named as a first team selection on this year's All-Southland Conference squad.
Yarotsky led the Southland in kills this season with a total of 431 in 1398 attempts. She averaged 3.99 kills per game.
