LEXINGTON, KY. – Seton Hall junior Tessa Fournier (Redondo Beach, Calif.) was named an All-East Coast Region Honorable Mention today by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).
It’s the second straight season that she has earned AVCA All-Region honors, as she earned First Team status in 2014.
Recently named BIG EAST Libero of the Year for a second consecutive season, Fournier had another dominant defensive season, leading the BIG EAST in both digs (583) and digs per set (5.16). In conference games only, she was even more impressive with a digs per set average of 5.57. Named to Louisville’s Active Ankle Challenge All-Tournament Team, Fournier recorded at least 20 digs in a single-match 14 times this season, including a season-high 29 digs vs. St. John’s on Friday. On Sept. 4, she tallied her first career double-double with 21 digs and 10 assists in a three-set victory over Notre Dame.
Fournier’s 583 digs this season is the fifth-highest single-season total in Seton Hall history. This season, she also moved into third place on the Pirates’ career digs list with 1,605, trailing only her libero predecessor Alyssa Warren (2,381) and assistant coach Allie Matters (1,945).
