Sophie Davis Named AVCA All-Southeast Region

LEXINGTON, Ky. – James Madison middle blocker Sophie Davis was named to the Southeast American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Region team, the organization announced Tuesday morning.

A First-Team All-Sun Belt selection, Davis finished the 2023 season with a team-leading 139 blocks (1.19 per set) and was second with 359 kills (3.07 per set). This is her fourth time earning an AVCA Regional award.
