THROGGS NECK, NY – For the second year in a row, the Maritime College volleyball team has placed a freshman outside hitter on the All-Skyline Second Team.  Laci Werner (New York, NY) was recognized by the conference's 12 head coaches after ranking fifth in the league in both kills (3.32 per set) and points (3.85 per set) this season.

Werner's 249 kills were the fourth-most for a single season in program history.  She had double-digit kills 13 times, including two 20-kill efforts, and recorded six double-doubles.  Werner finished with 24 kills, one shy of the single-match program record, on .400 hitting in a five-set loss to Brooklyn on Sept. 10.  She earned Skyline Rookie of the Week honors for that performance.  Werner hit .300 or better on eight separate occasions and ranked 14^th in the conference with an overall hitting percentage of .233.

She played in 21 matches, leading the Privateers in kills 18 times.  Werner was the team leader in kills in all but one contest from Sept. 5-Oct. 17.  In addition, she tallied 154 digs, 30 service aces and 19 blocks on the season.

After going seven years without an All-Skyline selection, Maritime has now had a Second Team honoree in back-to-back seasons.  Addison Weist (Staten Island, NY) was recognized in 2025.  The Privateers' previous All-Skyline performer was Meredith Hayes in 2018.

Maritime went 5-20 overall and 2-9 in conference play this season.  Werner was one of just two players from a team that didn't qualify for the Skyline Tournament to earn an all-conference nod, joining St. Joseph's LI's Nina Vanderhoof, who was also named to the Second Team.
