ANNAPOLIS, Md. –– Navy's
Patricia Mattingly (Sr., New Albany, Ind.) earned Google Cloud Second-Team Academic All-America honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America on Monday. This year's award comes one year after Mattingly garnered third-team accolades from the organization.
Mattingly is the third Navy volleyball player to be named a CoSIDA Academic All-American (Cheryl Dolyniuk, 1982; Rachel Dougherty, 2007) and becomes the first to earn the accolade multiple times in a career. She also is one of eight Patriot League volleyball players to garner the laurel and joins American's Karla Kucerkova (2002, 2003) as the only two players to have received the honor twice.
The 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-America Division I Women's Volleyball team has five repeat performers – Mattingly, Ann Hollas (Stephen F. Austin), Kristen Stucker (Austin Peay State), Anna Zwiebel (LSU) and Jaali Winters (Creighton).
Mattingly enters exam week at Navy with a 3.85 cumulative grade-point average. The applied mathematics major has been named to the USNA's Superintendent's List in each of her six completed semesters, has twice recorded a 4.00 GPA and is ranked 68th in her class on the Overall Order of Merit. She previously was announced as the recipient of the Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year for volleyball for the third time in as many years.
Those three league academic awards paired with her being named the Patriot League Setter of the Year for a third time this season as well as receiving first-team all-league accolades for a third time.
Navy's 2018 season was extended to the last day of November as the Mids won the program's first Patriot League Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time as a Division I program. The Mids compiled a 23-9 overall record and shared the regular season title in the league with a 13-3 record. Two of those three losses came to co-champion American, which Navy defeated in the championship match of the league tournament.
Individually, Mattingly set the Navy record (since 1991) with 3,849 career assists, a total that also ranks ninth in league history. She additionally ranks fifth in school history with 1,104 career digs and second with 52 career double-doubles. This year she ranked second in the league with 1,039 assists and third with an average of 9.03 assists per set.
Mattingly received Navy pilot for her service assignment.
