Baltimore, Md. – Graduate student Jennifer Davis (Ontario, Canada/Sir Allen Macnab) of the UMBC volleyball team was named to the 2003 Academic All-District II University Division Volleyball Team on Friday. Davis was named first team District II Verizon Academic All-American in 2002 and second team District II Verizon Academic All-American in 2001.
Davis graduated from UMBC in Dec. 2002, Magna Cum Laude, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Systems. Davis then went on to enroll as a graduate student in the same program. Davis earned Outstanding Senior Award in Information Systems and was one of four winners of the Maryland Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics 2003 Post-graduate scholarship award.

Davis ranks fifth all-time on UMBC’s kills chart (1,008) and fourth in career blocks (258).
Davis entered the week ending Nov. 10 ranking fifth in the America East Conference in hitting percentage at .316. She is a two-time All-NEC selection and earned all-tournament honors at the Retriever Invitational three years in a row.
Davis is one of six first team honorees and will advance to the national ballot for Academic All-American consideration. Also making first team was Karia Kucerkova (American), Elizabeth Kwak-Hefferan (Pennsylvania), Breean Trapasso (Bucknell), Isabell Anderer (Marshall) and Sara Morrow (Duquesne).
