She was also third on the team in digs per set at 2.49 and led the team in service aces with 23. She posted 20 or more kills three times and had six double-doubles this season.

For Torrey, this is the third time in her career she has been named to the AVCA All-Region Team. It is the first time for Adlee after being named Honorable Mention last season.
