The honors continue to roll in for the Helias volleyball team.

The most recent laurels earned by the Lady Crusaders came recently when both Ashley Dudenhoeffer and Erica Haslag were named All-Americans by PrepVolleyball.com.

Dudenhoeffer, a junior setter for the Lady Crusaders, was named to the site's top list of 150 players. She was one of just 32 juniors from around the country named to the squad and one of only five players from the state of Missouri. There were 111 seniors, six sophomores and one freshman making up the rest of the honorees.

The site then named 75 players to its highest honorable mention list, plus 125 high honorable mention and 200 special mention. Haslag, a senior middle hitter, made the highest honorable mention list.

Dudenhoeffer and Haslag were part of a Helias squad that went 43-0-1, setting a Missouri all-class record for wins in a single season, and captured the Class 3 state championship. The Lady Crusaders dropped just four sets all season.

Previously, Helias was named the national medium-sized school of the year by MaxPreps.com and tabbed as the No. 51 overall team in the country. Also, Haslag was named an honorable mention All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association and Under Armour.
