Earlier this year, the Feeding Hills, Mass. resident was named the MASCAC Rookie of the Year for volleyball as well as making the All-Conference first team. After leading her team to a share of the MASCAC regular season title, Andrea Bertini of Westfield State has been named the Champion’s Choice Coach of the Year.
