McGill volleyball’s Iannotti and Robitaille merit RSEQ all-star honours

MONTREAL – Victoria Iannotti and Charlene Robitaille, co-captains of the McGill University women’s volleyball team, have been named first-team all-stars in the RSEQ conference, in voting conducted by the league’s seven head coaches.
 
Iannotti, a 23-year-old software engineering senior from St. Laurent, Que., merits all-conference status for the second straight year. The 5-foot-9 power-hitter, ranked third among league leaders in kills (3.16 per set), fourth in scoring (3.74 pts per set) and 15th in hitting percentage (.214). One of two Martlets to play in all of the team’s 69 sets, she led the team in solo stuff blocks (12), was third in assisted blocks (36), second in service aces (16), ranked third in digs (138) and added 17 assists. Last year, she made the national championship all-tournament team and also received the Thérèse Quigley Award as the U SPORTS player who best combines academics with leadership and community service. A product of College Bois-de-Boulogne, Iannotti was recruited to McGill in 2019.
 
Robitaille, a 24-year-old native of St. Jean, Que., earns an all-star nod for the third consecutive season, including second-team honours in her rookie campaign (2018-19). The six-foot middle blocker played in 66 of the team’s 69 sets and ranked fifth among league leaders in stuff blocks (0.79 per set). She ranked sixth in hitting percentage (.241), ninth in aces (0.35 per set), 10th in scoring (3.05 pts per set), 11th in kills (2.23 per set) and 12th in digs (2.30 per set). She added 10 solo stuff blocks, 42 assisted blocks and 21 assists. Robitaille is working on a diploma in management after graduating last year with a science degree in dietetics. She was recruited to McGill in 2018 out of College Edouard-Montpetit and made the RSEQ all-rookie team. Last year, she was voted conference player of the year and earned All-Canadian honours.
