MARSHALL, Texas – Adding to a historic season already, No. 1 East Texas Baptist University has earned seven American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Region 10 awards. Graycee Mosley, Anita Hancock, Lara Hornsby, Lexi Moody, Callie Humphrey, and Head Coach Mallory Matthews all earned regional awards. Hornsby is the Freshman of the Year, and Matthews was named the Coach of the Year. The five players earning All-Region honors are the most in program history and in the region this season.
 
For the second year in a row, Matthews and assistant coach Allison Kuster were named the Region 10 Coach of the Year, adding to the American Southwest Conference coaching award they received last week. This season, Matthews has led ETBU to their best start in program history at 31-0 and earned the Tigers their first No. 1 ranking. Last week, ETBU earned its third straight ASC Tournament Championship under Matthews, tying the previous program record of three consecutive championships set by coach Suzanne Wingrove from 2001 to 2003. 
 
Four players were named AVCA All-Region First Team in Mosley, Hancock, Hornsby, and Moody. Earning All-Region Honorable Mention for the second year is Humphrey.
