LEXINGTON, Ky. – Raina Terry was named an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Northeast All-Region selection, as announced on Tuesday.
The Marengo, Ohio, native joins an elite group of 32 Illini players who have received all-region team distinction from the AVCA, the most recent being Megan Cooney in 2021.
A unanimous First Team All-Big Ten honoree, Terry led the Orange and Blue with 444 kills and 4.07 kills per set. The outside hitter paced the Big Ten with 363 points during conference play this season, averaging 3.04 points per set.
During her junior campaign, Terry posted over 20 kills on three separate occasions, all during Big Ten play. She tallied a season-high 24 kills against both Purdue (Sept. 30) and Penn State (Oct. 26). Her first effort came against Maryland (Sept. 23) where she logged 20 kills in a four-set battle on the road.
Terry currently sits 22nd all-time in the Illini record books with 1,095 kills. The junior also ranks ninth in service aces, amassing 128, so far, at Illinois.
The All-American Teams, as well as the national player and coach awards, will be announced next week during the AVCA Convention in Omaha.
