IRVING, Texas – After helping lead the Owls to their best season since 2018 and head coach Fernanda Nelson's second 20-win season, Valeria Rosado was named to the American Athletic Conference All-Conference Second Team, announced by the league office Tuesday.
Valeria Rosado had a tremendous season for the Owls, both offensively and defensively. Rosado helped lead the Owls' offense to a second place AAC finish in kills per set (13.50). She ranked second on the Owls in kills with 269, averaging 2.34 kills per set. Rosado was also a major anchor for the Owls back row, registering 300 digs, averaging 2.61 per set this season. She also ranked fifth on the team with 34 blocks and added 21 assists and 16 service aces during the 2023 campaign. Rosado led the Owls with a team-best 10 double-doubles this season. She tallied a career-best 24 kills during the Owls' five set upset against Wichita State, and a career-best 22 digs during Florida Atlantic's battle against AAC Champion SMU. She was also named AAC Defensive Player of the Week on Nov. 13 and was named to the AAC weekly honor roll on Oct. 2.
The Owls had a remarkable 2023 campaign, posting an impressive 20-12 record, marking the Owls' first 20-win season since 2018 and the seventh 20-win season in program history. The Owls' impressive season also marked the second most wins for any Owl team under head coach Fernanda Nelson.
The Owls now have their eyes set on for their first-ever NIVC appearance as they prepare to take on the UT Arlington Mavericks on Friday, Dec. 1. First serve is set for 7 p.m. ET.
