Umlauft, a sophomore from Stadtbergen, Germany, led the nation in kills for the second consecutive year (5.57 per set) while being named first-team AVCA All-America and first-team all-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. He was also selected to the CoSIDA All-District VIII team, and is now eligible for Academic All-America honors.
