Avery Flinton with 20 kills and 20 digs. Sophomore,

The Norse then lost the regional final to Seminole to end their season. Flinton had 9 kills with Steelmon adding 8.
The one-two punch of Flinton and Steelmon were rewarded with the All-Region team selection due to their play through the season verses these two opponents. Head NEO Coach
Sarah Wall said, "We are very proud of this team. These young women came together in 2 weeks prior to the season beginning and finished with effort and determination. They showed the Norsemen pride by never quitting when down and overcoming a lot of adversity during the season. We are looking forward to building a winning tradition of powerhouse volleyball in the near future. We want to thank all of those who came out to support us this year. Row Norse!"
