2018 Men’s VolleyMob All-America Second Team: Hawaii’s van Tilburg One of Seven

The 2018 NCAA DI-II Men’s Season has come to its conclusion with Long Beach State winning the National Championship. Now let’s transition to some individual accolades to give out.

This week, we will present our end-of-season VolleyMob awards, starting with our All-Freshman Team on Tuesday, our Third-Team yesterday, Second-Team today and First-Team on Friday. For each level of All-America recognition, we’ve selected six players plus a libero, similar to a starting lineup. The week will culminate on Saturday with us naming our National Player of the Year and Coach of the Year.

*Note: All-Americans and National Player of the Year were voted on by a VolleyMob staff of writers and compiled based on the aggregate results.
