Wurl Represents Carolina On All-ACC Academic Team

Tar Heel freshman Karenna Wurl has been named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Volleyball Team, as announced on Thursday by the league. The honor takes into account both athletic and academic performance during the 2020-21 season.

A defensive specialist/libero from San Diego, Wurl is majoring in media and journalism. As a sophomore, she played in 16 matches for the Tar Heels, leading the squad in both digs (252) and service aces (20).

Wurl is among 34 volleyball student-athletes to win the honor, which requires a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career for undergraduate students. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.

The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.

Pitt senior Chinaza Ndee was honored as the ACC Volleyball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
