Fischer, Evans Tabbed AVCA Southeast All-Region

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) has announced University of Georgia volleyball student-athletes Sophie Fischer and Kacie Evans have been named to the 2023 AVCA Southeast All-Region Team.

This is the second-straight appointment to the Southeast All-Region Team for each Fischer and Evans. Evans was named the 2019 AVCA Southeast Freshman of the Year but did not earn All-Region Team status that season.

The pair add All-Region honors to their list of accolades this season including All-SEC Team. They now become eligible for All-America voting. All-Americans will be announced Wednesday, Dec. 13.

Georgia concluded the 2023 season last Friday in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Fischer and Evans guided the Bulldogs to a 19-12 season, appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season for the first time in 28 years. Evans and Fischer combined for 51.7 percent of Georgia's total points this season.

Fischer, the SEC Player of the Year, concluded the regular season as the league's top scorer and the nation's highest-scoring middle, registering 5.26 points per set (594 total points). She finished top 10 in the SEC in kills per set (fourth, 4.13 kills/set), service aces per set (third, 0.40 aces/set), blocks per set (second, 1.32 blocks/set). Nationally, she ranked 12^th in points per set, 24^th in blocking, and 30^th in kills.

The Fort Mill, South Carolina native will look to become the fifth Georgia Bulldog to garner All-America honors. She was an AVCA All-America honorable mention last season.

Evans registered 3.33 kills per set for the Dogs on a .214 hitting clip in her final season. Evans finished the regular season with 35 aces (0.33 aces/set), and 238 digs (2.22 digs/set). She finished eighth in serving in the SEC.

The Wadsworth, Ohio native could become Georgia's third two-time All-American. She was fourth Bulldog to earn All-America status last season after earning AVCA Third Team All-America honors.
