LEXINGTON, Ky. - Purdue Fort Wayne star outside hitter Panna Ratkai was named an All-America Honorable Mention by the American Volleyball Coaches Association on Wednesday (Dec. 18).
Ratkai is the first All-America honoree for the Mastodons since Katie Crowe in 2021 and the fourth in the Mastodon women's volleyball program's history.
The 2024 Horizon League Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year was named an AVCA All-Region selection earlier this month. She led Purdue Fort Wayne to a fifth-place finish in the Horizon League regular season with a 10-8 mark in league play and a 17-15 mark overall.
From the left side, Ratkai averaged 5.17 points, 4.57 kills and 2.63 digs per set in her redshirt-sophomore season. Her point and kill averages both ranked top-20 nationally and led the Horizon League. She racked up 17 double-doubles, including seven in a row to end the season. She had a season-high 30 kills against Oakland, the most by any Horizon League student-athlete this season. Her 27 against Western Illinois was also higher than any other HL player.
Ratkai was the only Horizon League player represented on the All-America list.
Ratkai is one of two sophomores in the country to have over 1,000 kills in her career, as she wrapped up her second year of play with 1,048 total kills.
