Fairfield, Calif. - Freshman middle blocker Lindsey McLaughlin has been named the Solano Athletics November Athlete of the Month, announced Wednesday.

Co-captain of the Solano women's volleyball team and a All-Bay Valley Conference First Team selection, McLaughlin led the 2019 Falcon squad in several stat categories (hitting percentage, solo blocks, block assists, and service aces), while leading the BVC in hitting percentage (.574) and blocks per set, while ranking second in services aces (70). She ranked third in the entire state for hitting percentage, fifth for service aces, and ninth for blocks per set. Her solid all-around play helped lead the Falcons to an undefeated BVC run and postseason appearance.

"[Lindsey] is the strongest middle that I have coached coming in as a first year player," Solano women's volleyball head coach Darla Williams said. "Her serving is very strong with her location, aces, and percentage."

McLaughlin has volunteered her time to help the Solano College Athletics Department, helping fill the goodie bags for the golf tournament and working to build more support amongst student-athletes, while also leading by example and serving as a role model for the new players on the volleyball squad. 

And in the classroom, she has proven to be very diligent with a perfect progress report in her first semester at Solano.
