KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany — Twenty-one players from 14 DODDS-Europe schools across five countries have been named to the 2014 All-Europe volleyball teams, announced Thursday by DODDS-Europe athletic director Karen Seadore.

The diverse group includes 10 players from schools based in Germany, eight from Italy and one apiece from the United Kingdom, Spain and Belgium. No school earned more than the three selections apiece garnered by Division I champion Wiesbaden and close runner-up Naples.
