This year marks the fourth straight season that Creighton has had multiple All-Americans.
Witt is the fourth woman in program history to earn Third Team All-America honors from the AVCA. Kelli Browning (2014) and Lydia Dimke (2016) each were recognized once, and Jaali Winters earned the honor twice (2015, 2018). The senior from Omaha earned her second BIG EAST Libero of the Year recognition this fall after leading the league with 5.09 digs per set. She finished her career with a program-record 2,079 digs and ranks third with 122 career aces.
Cole earns All-America acclaim for the second straight season, as the senior from Dallas, Texas, led the BIG EAST with 11.03 assists per set and topped CU with 42 service aces. She finished her career second in program history with 0.413 aces per set and eighth with 93 career aces. Cole, who was named East Region Player of the Year a week ago, joins Megan Bober, Michelle Sicner and Dimke as one of four Bluejay setters to ever be honored as an All-American.
Cole (2018, 2019) and Witt (2017, 2019) are the sixth and seventh women in program history to be tabbed as AVCA All-Americans multiple times. They join a select group that previously included Bober (2010, 2012), Browning (2012, 2013, 2014), Dimke (2016, 2017), Taryn Kloth (2016, 2018) and Winters (2015, 2016, 2018).
Creighton finished its 2019 season with a 25-6 record after winning BIG EAST regular-season title for a sixth straight season. The Bluejays made an eighth straight NCAA Tournament appearance before being eliminated in five sets in the Second Round by Final Four-bound Minnesota.
Each of the three AVCA All-America Teams is comprised of 14 athletes. The Division I AVCA National Player of the Year will be announced on Thursday at the AVCA All-America/Players of the Year Banquet. This is the first season that the AVCA selected just 42 student-athletes as AVCA All-America Honorable Mention.
