MM 12.2: Maryland volleyball’s Rainelle Jones and Anastasia Russ named to All-Big Ten second team

Fifth-year middle blocker Rainelle Jones and redshirt junior middle blocker Anastasia Russ earned Big Ten volleyball postseason honors as they were named Second Team All-Big Ten. Jones and Russ played pivotal roles for the Terps on the defensive side of the ball this season.

Jones is the first Terp in program history to lead the NCAA in any statistical category, as she averaged 1.59 blocks per set for the second consecutive year. Over the course of the 2022 season, Jones had three double-digit block performances, including 11 rejections in the season finale against the Indiana Hoosiers.

Her performance during the 2022 campaign was recognized, as she earned two Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week awards.
