Cal State San Bernardino landed junior Jane Chafeh, senior Sara Hoffman and sophomore Samantha Middleborn on the American Volleyball Coaches Association all-West Region first-team in NCAA Division II. 
    The trio is now eligible for consideration by coaches as AVCA all-Americans. That team will be announced just prior to the NCAA national championship tournament in St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 3-5, where the Coyotes will be one of eight teams competing. 
    In addition, Chafeh was selected as the Daktronics/NCAA Division II West Region player of the year and Middleborn was named on the first-team all-region along with Chafeh in a vote by sports information directors from the region's colleges and universities. 
    Hoffman did not make the Daktronics all-region teams, outvoted by Calli Scott of Alaska Anchorage and Elaine Chen of UC San Diego. 
    Chafeh, an all-CCAA conference first team pick from Fontana, is the Coyotes' team leader in kills with 498 (4.70 per set) in 33 matches. The 5-10 outside hitter ranks No. .4 in the nation in kills per set. She is hitting at a .290 clip this season and is averaging 3.03 digs per game, second best on the team. 
    Middleborn, a 6-1 middle blocker from Rialto, is averaging 2.58 kills per set with 28 service aces, a team-leading 19 solo blocks and 110 total blocks with an average of 1.04 blocks per set in 106 sets. She ranks 42nd in the nation in blocks per set and 29th in the nation in hitting percentage at .357. She was an all-CCAA first-team selection. 
    Hoffman, a 5-6 setter from San Clemente, makes her third straight appearance on the AVCA all-West Region first team. She was a first-team all-American in 2008 and a third-team all-American in 2007.
A first-team all-CCAA pick this season, Hoffman is averaging 11.42 assists per set in 32 matches with 1,096 assists. She has over 4,000 assists in her four-year career. 
    She ranks No. 13 in the nation in assists per set. She is hitting .389 on the season with 59 kills in 126 swings, produced 23 service aces to date and is averaging 2.14 digs per set.
