XULA Tomasoni voted to AVCA NAIA All-Southeast Region team

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Juliana Tomasoni has been named to the 2017 American Volleyball Coaches Association NAIA All-Southeast Region team.

Tomasoni — a senior outside hitter from Nova Trento, Brazil, and a mass communications major at XULA — led the Gold Nuggets this year with 280 kills and 57 aces. She was second on the team with a .285 hitting percentage and 364 digs. She was first-team All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference and GCAC Tournament MVP, both for the second straight year.

For the seventh straight year XULA won GCAC regular-season and tournament championships and qualified for the NAIA National Championship. The Gold Nuggets finished 23-3 and set a school record for season winning percentage.

Tomasoni is the fourth Gold Nugget to be named all-region first team. Previous recipients were Kimberlee Rock (2004), Taylor Reuther (2013) and Claudia Haywood (2015).
