All-CCAC Men's Volleyball Team

An abbreviated season didn't keep two Bees from earning postseason accolades.

Scott MacGillis and Jason Bageanis were each named to the All-CCAC Men's Volleyball Second Team as the conference announced its postseason awards Monday.

The pair finished 1-2 on the team in kills in helping St. Ambrose finish 10-8 overall and 4-4 in the CCAC.

MacGillis, a senior from Wauwatosa, Wis., put down 191 kills to become just the fifth player to top 1,000 career kills in program history. His total of 1,136 places him third on the school's all-time list.

This season, the 6-4 outside hitter had nine matches of at least 10 kills. He had a season-best 25 against Siena Heights on Feb. 28 and had 20 against St. Andrews the next day. His 25 kills against Siena Heights were the seventh-most by a Bee in a match in program history. As a freshman, he collected 28 kills against Culver-Stockton, the third-most at St. Ambrose.

MacGillis is also among the career leaders in service aces (fourth with 99) and digs (11th with 537). He had five aces and 73 digs this season. He also added 23 blocks in 2020.

Bageanis returned after missing most of last season due to injury to finish second to MacGillis with 127 kills. The red-shirt freshman from Riverside, Ill., had just 42 hitting errors to finish with a .324 hitting percentage.

The 6-3 middle hitter had four matches of double-digit kills, with his season best of 15 coming in that five-set match against St. Andrews.

Bageanis made the biggest impact defensively, finishing ninth in the NAIA with 72 total blocks. His average of 1.16 blocks per set was fourth-best nationally. He was the main reason the Bees finished fifth in the country by averaging 2.48 blocks per set as a team.
