Kirkwood freshman Heather Poula has been named a first team NJCAA Division II All-American in volleyball.
Poula, a 5-foot-10 hitter from West Branch, led Kirkwood with 429 kills this season and had 80 blocks. She ranked 20th in the nation in kills.
Poula helped the Eagles compile a 32-8 record and finish No.7 in the national rankings.

Fuller's slam came with 2:15 left in the nip-and-tuck affair and gave Kirkwood (8-3) some room to breathe at 75-63.

The Cougars have a 4-0 record this season and a shiny spot in the Class 5A polls, but the winless visitors from the Quad Cities nearly pulled off the upset.
