WASHINGTON, D.C. – Two George Mason Patriots have been named to the 2024 Atlantic 10 End of Season Awards. Freshman Avery Booker has been named to the All-Rookie Team and senior Olyvia Kennedy has been named to the All-Academic Team. This is the fourth consecutive season that at least one Patriot has been named to an A-10 All-Conference Team. 
 
Booker, a freshman from Holly Springs, N.C., averaged 2.4 kills per set in her rookie campaign. She added 1.67 digs, 0.32 blocks, 0.25 aces, and 2.78 points per set in 99 sets over 27 games. The outside hitter finished her first year in the Green & Gold with 233 kills, 165 digs, 25 service aces, and 32 blocks. She had 11 games with double-digit kills. Booker joins Kennedy, as well as teammate Gabriella Gelfound and assistant coach Peyton Ehmke as previous members of the All-Rookie Team. 
 
Kennedy, a senior from Columbus, Ohio, averaged 2.53 kills over 115 sets in 30 games this season. Her 1,000^th career kill came on November 9, 2024 against Saint Louis, making her the first Patriot to tally 1,000 kills in the rally scoring era. The right-side hitter had 15 games with double-digit kills. She finishes her collegiate career with 1026 kills at a .217 clip. Kennedy is the first Patriot to be named to the A-10 All-Academic team since Marlanna Bozicevich was named in the 2020-21 season. 
 
The George Mason Patriots finished their 2024 season 11-19, 6-12 in conference play. 11 wins is the most wins the program has had since 2010.

All-Conference First, Second and Rookie Teams are voted on by the conference coaches at the end of the regular season, while the All-Academic Team is voted on by conference SIDs.
