LEXINGTON, Ky. – Juliauna Forgach Aguilar added to her stellar junior season with an AVCA First-Team All-Northwest Region nod on Friday. The outside hitter improved upon her 2023 honorable mention honor after rewriting the LC State Volleyball record book and earning First-Team All-Cascade Conference honors for the second year in a row.
“We are extremely proud of Juliauna for being named AVCA First-Team All-Northwest Region,” Head Coach Katie Palmer said. “This recognition is a reflection of her hard work, dedication and the leadership she brings to our team every day. Juliauna has not only excelled on the court but has also shown tremendous growth and commitment to her role, and this honor is well-deserved.
