CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Simpson's Megan Dunlavy earned second team All-Iowa Conference honors and Steph Keller landed an honorable mention nod for the 2011 volleyball season, as announced by the conference office Friday.

Dunlavy, a senior middle hitter from Bettendorf, Iowa and 2010 first team all-conference performer, closed her career No. 8 in program history with 1,344 kills and No. 3 with a .271 hitting percentage. She led the conference with 3.69 kills per set in 2011, accumulating 432 total kills.
