TOLEDO, Ohio – Sophomore Taylor Alt of the Toledo women's volleyball team has earned all-region honors from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), the organization announced Tuesday.

A two-time First-Team All-MAC selection, Alt is the second Rocket ever to earn AVCA Midwest All-Region honors, joining former Toledo volleyball standout Lauren Rafdal (2013).

Alt put together one of the best seasons by a Rocket ever in 2021. She averaged 4.04 kills/set and 4.65 points/set this year, placing her second in the MAC in both categories and also ranking in the Top 10 among underclassmen in the nation. Her kills/set average is the fifth-highest in a single season in school history, and she is now just the fifth player ever to average at least four kills per set. Alt's 477 kills are the fourth-most ever in a season by a Rocket and her 1,234 attack attempts are sixth-most ever.

A three-time MAC West Offensive Player of the Week award winner this year, Alt tallied 11 double-doubles and four matches with at least 20 kills.

Toledo recently wrapped up one of the best seasons in school history, posting a 20-13 record while earning its first-ever postseason tournament berth. The Rockets advanced to the second round of the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC) this past weekend, defeating Indiana State in the first round before falling to Valparaiso.
