Armour Named to AVCA Southeast All-Region First Team, 12th Knight to Achieve the Feat

by Alex Clough

ORLANDO - Just a week removed from becoming the first Knight in program history to be named to the All-Big 12 First Team, Avah Armour has garnered another honor to highlight a special campaign in Orlando.

Announced Tuesday afternoon, the junior was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Southeast All-Region Team, securing the nod alongside 13 other student-athletes from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

The standout joins an elite club of Knights who have secured first-team AVCA All-Region honors as the 12th player and the first since McKenna Melville in 2022.

A career season from the Colorado native saw Armour set career totals in kills (457) and points (513), becoming the 12th player in program history to surpass the half-century mark. A key returner for first-year head coach Matt Botsford, the junior was a focal point for a UCF team that had the fourth-highest year-to-year growth in RPI, jumping from 139 spots from 2024.

Armour finished the regular season fourth in the conference in points per set in Big 12 matches (337.5), increasing her game against the nation’s best. Her 4.35 kills per set throughout the season rank her seventh in the Big 12 and 32nd in the nation.

Armour tallied double-digit kills in 26 of 29 matches this season, including 14 consecutive from Sept. 19 to Nov. 8. Setting career highs on multiple occasions, a premier performance of the season came during a five-set thriller in her native Colorado, tallying 30 kills against the Buffaloes and a staggering 34.5 points.

Five 20-plus kill outings, highlighted by three straight against Houston (28), Texas Tech (27), and BYU (25), put her mark on a transformational season for the program. An all-around player, Armour's defensive efforts were also a point of emphasis, ranking second on the team in digs (208) and fifth in blocks (46).
