HONOLULU, Hawai’i – On Wednesday night the Western Athletic Conference released the 2008 all-conference volleyball teams with Boise State sophomore Sadie Maughan earning a spot on the second team. The team selections were based on the votes of the nine conference head coaches.

Jamie Houston of Hawai’i was named the 2008 WAC Player of the Year while teammate Kanani Danielson was named WAC Freshman of the Year. New Mexico State head coach Mike Jordan was dubbed the 2008 WAC Coach of the Year by his peers.
