Emory volleyball sophomore outside hitter Morgan McKnight earned a spot on the all-tournament team at the season-opening Wittenberg National Invitational.

The 5-foot-10 McKnight finished the weekend in the No. 2 spot on the club after averaging 2.71 kills over 14 sets of action. She registered double-figure terminations in all three contests (Emory finished 2-1 at the Invitational) and led or shared for team honors in that department twice.

In a 3-1 victory over Johns Hopkins she produced a team-high 12 terminations and added 10 digs, while closing out the weekend with a match-high tying 14 successful attack attempts, tying her second-highest career output, in a 3-2 come-from-behind triumph vs. Illinois Wesleyan, a contest where the Eagles dropped the first two sets.
