LAWRENCE, Kan. - Five Kansas Volleyball Jayhawks have been recognized as AVCA All-Region athletes for their achievements on the court this season.
Seniors Caroline Bien, London Davis, Camryn Turner and Toyosi Onabanjo were all named First Team All-Region, while Ayah Elnady was All-Region Honorable Mention.
Bien was Second Team All-Big 12, as well as Kansas' fourth Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year award winner. Bien averaged 3.11 digs per set and 2.56 kills per set during the season while helping lead Kansas to 15 league wins and a 13th overall trip to the NCAA Championship. She was one of four Jayhawks to appear in all 108 sets of the regular season. The Overland Park, Kansas native ended her college career on a high note, racking up 15 kills and hitting .378 while also adding seven digs and two aces against the Florida Gators.
Davis joined Bien on the All-Big 12 Second Team, as she had an impressive final season in a Kansas uniform. The senior opposite appeared in 107 sets for Kansas, hitting .299 on the year while racking up 283 kills, the second most of all Jayhawks, and 82 total blocks as well. The Galena, Ohio native contributed 326 total points, which is the second-highest number at Kansas.
Turner, the Big 12 assists/set leader, earned her second-consecutive First Team All-Big 12 award. The senior out of Topeka is also No. 3 in the NCAA in assists/set, ending the season with an 11.29 average. She was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week once this season, and is an AVCA National Player of the Year semifinalist for the first time in her career. After Kansas, Turner will head to Michigan, as she was the first of three setters to be drafted in this year's PVF draft. She went to the Grand Rapids Rise in the third round as the No. 22 pick overall.
Onabanjo secured her first-career AVCA All-Region accolade, as well as her first Big 12 postseason award when she was named to the first team. She ended the regular season with the third-best hitting percentage in the Big 12 at .399. The Houston native also posted the No. 4 block average in the conference with 1.21 blocks per set. When the AVCA first announced their Player of the Year Watchlist, Onabanjo was named to that early season group with her counterpart Turner. Onabanjo was drafted in the first round of the PVF draft as the No. 8 pick overall, and she will head to Omaha to play for the league-leading Supernovas.
Elnady, the First Team All-Big 12 selection, led Kansas in kills per set this season with 3.28. She was one of four Jayhawks to appear in all 108 sets, and ended the year on an 11-match double-double streak, where she recorded double-digit kills and digs in every match since Texas Tech on October 30. The senior from Cairo, Egypt also racked up 37 aces on the year.
