Georgiades Named AVCA All-Southwest Region Team

HOUSTON – University of Houston graduate libero Kate Georgiades was voted to the AVCA Southwest All-Region Team, the coaches association announced Tuesday. The honor is her fourth consecutive, earning the accolade every year she's been with the program.

Georgiades is one of 22 All-Region honorees in the Big 12 (one of 15 on All-Region First Team) and is the only libero on the Southwest Region team. The AVCA adjusted its regions this year with the Southwest Region now encompassing all Division I teams in Texas and New Mexico.
