COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - University of Dayton junior Faye Barhorst was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Northeast Region Team on Tuesday. Barhorst, who was honored for the second straight season as an All-Region selection, will now be eligible for All-America honors next week.

The 6-3 middle blocker from Fort Loramie, Ohio was named the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year as well as the Most Outstanding Player of the Atlantic 10 Championships this season as she led Dayton to its third straight A-10 Championship and berth in the NCAA Tournament. Barhorst led the Atlantic 10 in hitting percentage with the second-best mark in school history at .396, which also ranked 12th nationally. She also had 48 solo blocks and 126 block assists which were the second and third most in UD single-season history respectively.

After just three seasons, Barhorst is Dayton's all-time leader in both hitting percentage (.370) and solo blocks (134). She also ranks third all-time in block assists (379) and fourth in kills (1,340). Barhorst has also been honored by the Atlantic 10 Conference with 13 weekly awards including three A-10 Player of the Week awards this season. She was also named the 2003 Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year and to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference team in 2004.

Barhorst led the Flyers to a 24-11 record this season and their third consecutive berth in the NCAA Tournament. Dayton also became just the fourth team in conference history to win three consecutive Atlantic 10 Championships. UD also collected a 19-match winning streak during the year, which was the 11th-longest in the nation at any point this season and the second longest in school history.
