Texas Tech earned USMC/AVCA honors for the fourth consecutive season
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Fresh off one of the best seasons in program history, Texas Tech volleyball earned another accolade Monday, as the program earned USMC/AVCA Team Academic honors.
The honor marks the fourth consecutive season that Tony Greystone's squad was included.
The AVCA and USMC Team Academic Award honors volleyball programs that maintain a year-long GPA of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale.
Texas Tech volleyball opens its season on Aug. 18 with a home scrimmage against North Texas.
The Red Raiders will look to build upon a very successful 2021 campaign that featured 17 overall wins and the first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2001.
Last month a pair of Red Raiders earned Big 12 Preseason All-Conference honors as both Karrington Jones and Kenna Sauer were named to the 14-player all-conference team.
A unanimous selection, Sauer returns for her true senior season after being named an AVCA Southwest All-Region selection and a member of the All-Big 12 First Team a year ago, while Jones returns for her fifth season with the Red and Black.
Tech's leader in kills in 2021, Jones was a Second Team All-Big 12 selection in 2021.
