Feliciano caps off season with national recognition

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – An exclamation point was added to the freshman campaign for University of Evansville volleyball player Melanie Feliciano as she was named a 2019 VolleyballMag.com All-Freshman Honorable Mention.

She became the first Purple Aces player to earn the recognition. In her first season at UE, she set the program freshman record with a total of 456 kills. Her average of 4.18 kills per set was second in the Missouri Valley Conference and top three among freshmen in the nation.

"We know Melanie had a big year and was an asset for our program," UE head volleyball coach Fernando Morales said.
