Raina Terry Takes Home AVCA All-Region Honors


CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Raina Terry earned All-Region honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) on Tuesday. This marks the third consecutive year Terry has taken home the accolade.

During the regular season, the Ohio native averaged 5.27 points per set, putting Terry first in the league, while her 579.5 total points were good for second place. The graduate student’s 55 aces and 486 total kills ranked third in the league. 

During the Illini’s NCAA Tournament appearance, the outside hitter paced the squad with 18 kills and added a .211 hitting clip against UNI.

Terry posted double-figure kills in 30 of 31 matches this season, including six performances with 20+ kills. Terry led the way in kills during 27 of the Illini’s matches this year. A threat at the service line, the program’s leader in aces notched 56 across the season. 

Terry is the only Big Ten player with over 2,000 kills and over 200 aces. She is also the active career leader in all of Division I with 220 strikes from behind the service line.

The Ohio native was named a unanimous All-Big Ten First Team selection in 2024. She was one of five players unanimously voted to the team.

After being named an all-region selection for the Midwest Region, Terry is eligible for AVCA All-America teams. The All-America teams, as well as the national player and coach awards, will be announced next week during the AVCA Convention in Louisville, Ky.
