The USA South Athletic Conference has announced its 2021 Spring All-Conference awards for volleyball. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the shortening of seasons within the fall and winter sports, in addition to the cancelation of NCAA Championship events, the Conference will be limiting the All-Conference honors to First and Second Team All-Divisional recognition. Additionally, for this season, there will be no individual "of the Year" awards. Finally, the USA South will however still recognize an All-Sportsmanship Team consisting of one member from each competing school as selected by their team.
All awards are voted on by the volleyball coach at each institution. Due to the imbalance of institution's abilities to compete in non-conference contests, only statistics generated in USA South divisional contests, which were games against teams within their own divisions which counted within the divisional standings, were taken into account by the coaches when casting their votes.
Junior middle blocker Lauren Weaver was named to the First Team All-East Division for the Bishop volleyball program for her stellar season by leading the team in killls and blocks. Weaver had 163 kills and a hitting percentage of .304 as well as 45 total blocks and 20 solo.
It is the first all-conference winner since Anna Hart in 2012.
Junior DS Mary Catherine Davis was also named to the All-Sportsmanship team for the Bishops as well.
