Tulsa, Okla. - Junior Julia Silva (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) earned another post-season honor on Wednesday as the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced its all-region teams. After helping lead TU to its first conference championship and winning the Conference USA Setter of the Year Award, Silva was named to the AVCA All-Midwest Team for the second consecutive year.
Silva became the first TU setter to record over 1,300 assists in consecutive season by breaking her own school record for assists in a single season. Playing in all 120 games this year for the Golden Hurricane, Silva recorded 1,414 assists while posting at least 27 assists in every contest.
In addition to three triple-doubles on the year, Silva finished with 19 double-doubles including eight straight to end the season. She posted a season-high 71 assists against Texas-Arlington while also setting a career-best with 24 digs against the Mavs as well. Defensively, Silva posted six blocks in two matches this season, against Tulane (10/8) and UTEP (10/22).
By earning a spot on the all-region squad, Silva is also eligible for the All-America status as well. She earned Honorable Mention last season.
